[QUOTE="GreyGTI, post: 2248292, member: 568951"] So as my boston acoustic pro60s are on their way I thought I would come to a conclusion about what amp to pair with them but now I'm getting confused. From all that I have read on this board it's clear these speakers are power hungry and everyone is saying feed them about 200-300 rms. I went to a couple of car audio places around town and heard the same thing from one guy but then another guy (who by the way talked my ear off about specs, engineering etc) told me that would just be a waste on a 150 rms speaker. Now I don't know what to do? The original plan was to go with a Zed Deuce which does about 400 wX2 at 2ohm. I'm thinking it will do around 300 wX2 at 3 ohm which the pro60's run at. Will that just be a huge waste on the pros? I really need to start to make some decisions or I will be stuck with a set of speakers and no amp. I guess what I need to know is what do I gain with 150 watts of head room off an amp? [/QUOTE]
