[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8655602, member: 650438"] amps need to do rated and a lot of power on the amp dyno while maintaining high efficiency. Just look up amplifier dyno videos on youtube and you'll see which ones are good and which ones are junk. You want at least 100+ watts per channel for your door speakers for sound quality purposes. You also want a little bit higher power numbers for the sub amp as well so you can keep the gains lower using the amp at 80 or 90% capability and keep the amp cool not forcing it to work at 120% capacity generating ridiculous amounts of heat and eventually blowing or killing your sub. Same principals apply to the 4 channel amp. just because you have 2000 watts doesnt mean you need to use all of it, you can control how much power subs and speakers see via settings. First off for your car i'd add a DSP a 6 channel amp (two for front tweeters, two for front door speakers, two for rear, you want individual control of the tweeter and door speakers vs how they are right now clumped together which gives you the impression that the stock system s*cks)and a sub amp run active if sound quality is your goal. If you just want things loud then, add the amps run pro audio speakers, upgrade electricals, get a good sub and sub enclosure. [/QUOTE]
