[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 3676469, member: 550915"] You are a bit confused on how amp power is distributed. By simply not using a pair of the channels, you don't get more power on the other pair. You need to use the terminals labeled "bridged" on your diagram to get the power you're expecting. That said, 90ish watts should be more than enough and you have the second set of channels available for a small sub. The second point of your confusion is on what the speakers do with the power. The amp doesn't make it's rated power constantly rather the power that it produces is related to the volume setting and the gain setting. The speakers don't just "use what they need." They take what they're given. If it's too much power then they blow. Too little power and they aren't loud enough. That said, "loud enough" really doesn't take much power on the mids and highs.
