i recently got alpine 6.5" component and coaxial (sps-600c and sps-600) speakers for my tahoe. they both run 80W rms a piece at 4 ohms. i'm looking to get an amp to power them thats less than $300 and still has good output. i have a rockford fosgate mono amp for my subs and i love it and has never given me any problems and plenty of power. heres 2 amps that i'm considering:
Rockford Fosgate R300-4 (rms: 50W x 4)
about $180 on amazon
Alpine PDX-4.100 (rms: 100W x 4)
about $290 on amazon
i know both are great quality but my question is more directed at is it better to go over or stay under? is it better to stay below the speaker rms and just not be able to crank it all the way (i had experience in the past of having under powered speakers and getting the static/crackling sound at higher end volume) or risk blowing the speakers by going above the speaker rms??
