[QUOTE="KicktheSDbasshead, post: 8824365, member: 684878"] First make sure the amp you buy does its rated power. I believe when you say a 1000 watt amp only does 50- 60 watts per channel its not doing its rated power even at 2 ohms.i have a kicker zx 350.4 here's its rms ratings 4-channel car amplifier 60 watts RMS x 4 at 4 ohms (90 watts RMS x 4 at 2 ohms) 175 watts RMS x 2 in bridged mode (4-ohm stable in bridged mode) They're are a ton of amps that do rated power the amps you are seeing are what they call max power wich isn't used in the rule of thumb on any measure in real set ups. Kicker, jl audio, and fosgate are mainstream amps that will give you decent numbers that are real. [/QUOTE]
