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?
