[QUOTE="antler skills, post: 426881, member: 553047"] Head units are usually insanely overrated in RMS wattage. It's doubtful you'll see any more than 10-15w coming out of each channel. I mean, look at the fuse on the HU. Probably a single 10-15A fuse. Look at an amp that puts out around 25-30W RMS, chances are it's got a 30A or higher fuse. Everything Sony makes is also insanely overrated, I had 4 Xplod speakers in my car with 30 watts to each (rated at 50W RMS) and they all blew. I don't think they're safe with 1/2 the recommended wattage. What's your budget? There's got to be better deals out there... [/QUOTE]
