Ok i am thinking of hooking up a amp to my 4 speakers in my car. i have a 1997 Cavalier. I have 2 sony xplod 270 watt speakers in the front and 2 pioneer 280 watt speakers in the back. I was wondering what kind of amp i should get.

 

get something with atlast 30 watts rms output per channel

 

what about all together if i got a 550 watt amp

 

thats plenty of power make sure its a four chan tho if you intend on keeping fader capability

 

you need to find the rms powerhandling, not the max like you put.

unless its subs that you're talking about.
