[QUOTE="Sizzlechest, post: 8674601, member: 661234"] Decided to replace my amps for smaller/higher power options, just have a few questions. I will be running factory electrical. 1. Is 136w considered ample power for mids and highs? I can also get an alternate Taramps amp for nearly double the price that would do [COLOR=#111111]4x192W RMS[/COLOR] 2. Since these amps are both way over the speakers rated RMS, I will run them with the gains super low. Would setting gains with a multi-meter be ideal? Or inch up until I hear distortion and back down? Any pointers is appreciated. 3. Will I be ok from an electrical/voltage perspective? 4. Do you guys think this is worthwhile from a sound quality/bass output perspective? Sub: Current: 2014 Soundstream Rubicon RUB1.1000D running at 1 ohm 1000w x 1 Replacement: Taramps HD 3000 to run at 1 ohm 3000w x 1 Sub = Sundown Audio SA12-D2 wired to 1 ohm in a sealed box Mids/Highs: Current: 2014 Soundstream Rubicon RUB4.500D running at 4 ohm 75w x 4 RMS Replacement: Taramps DS 800x4 to run at 4 ohm 136w x 4 Mids = Dayton Audio RS180-4 7" 4 ohm, rated at 60w RMS Highs = Dayton Audio RS75-4 3" 4 ohm, rated at 15w RMS [/QUOTE]
