i can't buy an amp theres only 2 preouts on the deck.. 1 is for my sub amp and 1 for the front speaker amp.. 200 watts is the peak or w/e i know the rms is way lower.. so an amps rms is all clean power? so thats 22 watts of distorted power compared to 37.5 of clean?

I am fairly certain there are some decks that can do in excess of 35 watts x 4... they are full range D's or something like that... perhaps they arn't as common as I thought ?

anyway if its a run of the mill deck yea Id expect around 20-25RMS x 4...

keep in mind it would take 50x4 just to gain 3db... but if all you want is fronts you could bridge a 4ch and get say 100w x 2 @ 4ohms.... thats 6db louder, which is fairly substantial....

of course depending on your listening tastes, and speaker sensitivity in the bandwidth you want 25 watts may be enough.... the extra rear channels could also be biamped to a mid and tweeter seperatly which might be just as good as 50x2 with the right tweeters.......

If you are mentioning that you can't buy a new amp (run 3 amps) because you only have 2 outputs, you could use y splitters in order to run the extra amp (split your front outs) or you could just jump an rca from amp to amp if your amp supports it.

addition

You could use a LOC to gain some extra outputs.

I thought he was trying to say that his AMP puts out 37.5w X 4 and that he wanted to connect his DECK as well as his amp to the speakers?

In this case, also a bad idea
