[QUOTE="HardofWhoring, post: 8853459, member: 674149"] There's nothing wrong with the head unit at all. No reason not to run it. The problem is that you don't have enough power for those speakers. You just won't get the volume out of those without some more wattage. Turning those up on that head unit would be about 50-60% volume of what they are capable of with an appropriately sized amp. Either get some low budget 30w speakers and play em off the head unit or do what EVERYONE IN HERE will tell you to do, and just get an amp and some speakers that will work well with it. If your head unit *****, and is maybe missing some features, you could get a head unit that will do 50w x 4 RMS, but an amp is better. Get a 4ch amp. The long answer is to figure out your budget, your goals see what your budget allows for a set of components, and make those the star with the most of the budget up front. Then use that wattage, and get a set of rear speakers close to that, and get a 4ch amp that will play those four speakers. The generic answer is get a 4 x 100w RMS amp. It's probably the most common size and will allow you to find all sorts of speakers, in any price range, that will work on that amp. You can find some really low budget amps that are high quality, just don't have the marketing budget of the big names. You can get some low budget speakers and upgrade them down the road. Those speakers just aren't going to work well with that head unit. Go even cheaper and lower wattage on the speakers, get a different head unit, (which is the least reasonable option), or get an amp and speakers that work with that amp. [/QUOTE]
