my front 6.5 components say they can handle 150 watts. so can anyone tell me what kind of amp i should put into those?? should i get an amp that has 150 watts per channel or something less or more?? ive never dealt with amps before can someone help me. thanks.

 

150 watts max or RMS? A 30-50 watt RMS per channel amp should be fine. Generally speaking, the big power needs to goto the subs. Mids and tweets require little power in comparison.

There can be only one!!

 

9 times outa 10, 150 watts means max power, so i figure 75 watts rms. a 30-50 watt "rated" amp will work just fine. check out your local stereo shops for the brands then post your findings back here. were always here to lend our 2 cents.

yea, it said max power. 150 watts max power. so what should i use for that, and a pair of 240 max power 6x9's?? i would like to get one 4 channel amp for those and later throw a sub and a seperate amp in. by the way, what does RMS mean???? thanks

 

What brand of speakers are these?

A good 4x50 watt Pioneer, kenwood ect. amp will be great for all 4 speakers. A 4x30 Kicker or Rockford would be even better.

they are both pioneer. the fronts are TSC1653 6 1/2 component, and the rear are TSA6999 3 way 6x9's. any suggestions?

 

I'd probably suggest the pioneer 30x4 or maybe a 50x4 amp.

RMS= Root Mean Square its a formula that measures continous AC power.
