    Factory amp vs Kenwood headunit amp?

    My son has a 97 Avalon with a factory amp that pushes the 4" component set up in the front and rear doors. I have no idea what the RMS is on the amp but have been told probably no more than 10-15 watts rms per channel. Wouldn't even a factory amp put out a cleaner sound than a aftermarket...

    Rockford vs Kicker?

    I'm going to buy a 100x2 amp to power a pair of Alpine SPR 6X9's. Have decided it's coming down to a 2 channel Rockford or a 2 channel Kicker amp. So my question to you is which of these 2 companies (Rockford or Kicker) make the better quality 2 channel amp?

    6.5's vs 6x9's?

    If your vehicle takes 6x9's would you stick with them or go with a plate and install 6.5's? I went with the plate and a 2 way coaxial 6.5 hope I made the right decision.
