[QUOTE="azngurlbaybee, post: 295698, member: 547102"] Well if you wanna take it that far...no, you can't power 5 speaker systems off a 4-channel amp (without using the rear channels of the deck for the rears) Now, regarding that 600-watt subwoofer, what does that 600 mean? That's how much power it can [I]handle[/I]--not how much it [I]needs[/I] So let's say you were running a Koda component set and a Brahma 12 in the rear (similar to what I've got). The Kodas have a sensitivity of 88 and the B12 has a sensitivity of 84. In order to have a flat response curve up to 108 dB, you'd somehow need to get 100 watts to the fronts and 320 watts to the sub--something that's no problem with a 4-channel amp (and again, similar to what I've got) "But that Brahma is 1600 wrms!" You say. "Shouldn't it have exploded by now?" Weird...it hasn't happened yet [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
