[QUOTE="de8212, post: 8738926, member: 545055"] My current system is as follows: Pioneer NEX 4200 head unit Pioneer GM-D9605 - 5 Channel amp (75W x 4 (A/B) @4 ohms, 100W x4 (A/B) @ 2 ohms ) Morel Maximo 6 Components in front (up to 90 watts RMS (180 watts peak power) ) Morel Maximo Coax in rear ( up to 80 watts RMS (160 watts peak power) ) IDQ 12" sub. Looking to spend ~500. I do not need the sub upgraded. It's plenty for what I need. I'd like a new head unit but probably gonna hold out for that. So, that leaves me to a new amp or Components. Although, I do have a questions about the power to the components. I have the front channels going to the mids and tweeters. Does that mean i am feeding a total of 75 watts to each mid and tweeter? So, 37.5 watts to a tweeter, and 37.5 to a mid? BTW, it's all through the passive crossover that came with the morels. I'm just not sure if I can somehow get more power to the mids and tweeters. Am I running at 4 ohms or 2? If I am running at 4 how can I wire them to 2 and would that be a noticeable sound increase? This amp does 100x4 @ 4ohms. [URL]https://www.crutchfield.com/p_530RS54500/Soundstream-Reserve-RS5-4500D.html[/URL] WOuld that be better quality sound in general? Soundstream vs pioneer?? Or would I be better off to get higher end components and keep the same amp? I can't do both. thanks for any thoughts. [/QUOTE]
