Selecting the right amp

[SkipperAbe]

I have a Sony MEX-N4000BT (55W) and I'm looking to upgrade my car audio with more clean volume. Car is a 2001 Acura TL with factory sub. So far, I've purchased four new 5.25" for the doors and are rated 100W. Q: what additional power do I need to get the most from the new speakers?

A new Rockville W8T4-S2 8" Shallow Mount 1000 Watt is also part of my plan.

Get an amp that matches the power rating of yhe speakers. Make sure you match rma power to rms power. Ignore peak ratings

About 345 watts to 300 watts amp. The added amp. 4 ohms. Make sure it’s 4 channel. 1000 watts will burn the speakers. Footnote or references: Quora blog. Car amplifiers and speakers. How to pick one out for best results. But this formula works. I promise!

Formula: 1 on 1. 1 =1 or 1 < 1. Amp to speaker approach. Please note parallel connections are counted as one speaker. Even the door speakers. Sorry. I had another explanation. This was on the two rear fills running out of power. Get back to that later when it comes up again.​
