[QUOTE="1aespinoza, post: 8824373, member: 654802"] Just stick to matching the RMS of speakers and amp. RMS is what the amp will play all day long with absolutely zero issues. So if there are high peaks in the music, the amp will play them with no issues for they are short, and will not strain it. Some like to have excess power for headroom, but I think that tactic is better suited for high power systems. Another important specification is the speaker's sensitivity. Look that it is 90 decibels (db) and above. Sensibility is the speaker's ability to convert electrical signal to sound. [/QUOTE]
