Yes, another audio question for me. Anyways, I just got a Sony (don't laugh, it was cheap!) that boast a whopping ( :roll: ) 600W bridgeable. I was looking up specifications on it and it says it has 100 watts RMS and 200 watts Max. Now my speakers are rated at 220 watts max, so I know im safe there. What I wanted to ask is, is it really worth it. My head unit only produces 20 watts RMS and 45 watts Max. What would I really notice? I know with certain bass levels with the head unit power the bass would crack. Would this help reduce that if adjusted properly? Im not into alot of bass, so I ditched the idea of bridging it for a sub and thought of amping my rear speakers. If this is just not a good idea, let me know. I'll sell to the local pawn shop :lol:

BTW, This is the amp. Yeah, not the best, but whatever.

external amp is almost always better than internal amps of head units...unless you have an Alpine V-Drive or that Panasonic head unit with the tripath chip amp built in...

No, I got a 2004 version of the Panasonic CQ-C1100U. Not too bad for being as old as it is.
