Powering 8" speakers - amp question
 

Hey all,

I think I'm going to try some 8" Kickers in my boat as an upgrade from the stock Sonys. The 8" Kickers take 150 W RMS. I see there's a lot of choices in 4 CH amp that push 100 RMS. Very few that push 150 RMS. Is this a 1 for 1 thing or is it diminishing returns? As in, 100W will wake up the speakers very well but 150W won't be a huge increase? Or will I be regretting not just going with the expensive 150W 4 CH?

how many 8" speakers are you trying to run?

Just 4 so I'll either do 150 W RMS x4 or 100 W RMS x 4 depending on amp capability.

Of course I say this now. In a couple months I'll probably be adding another four and an amp knowing me.

I know a guy in austin with a killer stereo in his Sunny. You should talk to him. lol.

Haha yeah we have. That's how I've been wooed to the Kicker side of the game. Didn't know you posted here still!
