ummm....you won't be anywhere close to 55. Look for RMS that is the REAL power spec

about using an amp, depends on what your looking for and what kind os speakers you have. ex. components typically need (best if they are) amped

i think that the rms is 220...but idk i found in on dualav.com and heres all it said about wattage..220 Watts peak (55x4) im guessing that means its putting out 55 to four speakers but idk

Boss CW350400W Max, Chaos Wired Series 4-Channel Amplifier

and for the amp, the 4 channel means it will put out 400 watts for all four speakers if i have them hooked up to it right?

your deck will put out maybe 15-25 wrms. you will NOT get 55 wats per channell

As for the amp, boss sucks balls

choose somthing else

there ya go

its decent

or go on ebay and check out some profile amps.

Or save some more money and buy somthing better than flea market crap. 40-60 more buxs gets you a way better amp

I would suggeest you go here http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Learn/Article/Category.aspx?c=3 and read some of the articles.

You are listing the peak power of your HU. You only want to look at the RMS rating as thats the only one that matters.
