[QUOTE="DRBOOM, post: 8777957, member: 676005"] Stick to reputable brands even at entry level, will provide you a better result that TARGA or any cheap brands that over rate their power in their gear, subs or amplifier. A good way to measure amp power is by fuse rating. you multiply the fuse rating with 12v not 14.4 volts as the trend nowdays. car audio gear including radio is identified as 12V negative ground so although you may get a few more voltage when the vehicle is switched on, its 12v most of the time. Also if your amp is AB class then it most likely only 50 percent efficient, so with a 50amp fuse,, its 600watt amp but if AB class its 300watt amp with 150watts per channel into 2 speakers or 75 watts per channel if its a 4 channel. iF your amp is CLASS D, then most likely 70-80 percent efficient so go CLASS D, if you can afford or by second hand. If you have the TARGA's give them a go, in infinite baffle behind the seats and seal the front and rear waves for best result and also sound deaden the trunk area. [/QUOTE]
