dude...just a simple check of any decent car audio company's site will give you 4ch amps that have way more than 45 watts /ch. Example, Alpine's pdx 4150...150x4 at 2 or 4ohms, RF has a few, but let's use the power t8004...50x4 at 4ohms, and 200 x4 at 1ohm, JBL's Px300.4 (older model) 123.5 x4 at 4ohms or 180 x 4 at 2ohms. There are literally hundreds of 4channel amps that produce more than 45 watts x4. Secondly, any shop that tells you that 4x6's are the way to go....run!

ya, thats definitly a bunch of bullshit. I myself am not a fan of clarion, just because they're products havent seemed to hold up in the installs ive done, but about the 4ch amp is a load of crap lol, i think its kind of funny, a four channel amp may range from 40w rms to 150 rms ussually unless you want to spend a ton then theres bigger, but an amp with like 75w rms will be plently loud and sound amazing if tuned right.

so i went to my local stereo shop and asked to hear some components. all they had was some clarions and some kaptions hooked up. so they started talking to me about amps and stuff and they tried to hook me with a set of clarion 4x6's with a 45 watt rms and said they will out preform anything in that price range (higher 200's). the thing that pisses me off most is that they said that any 4 channel amp will only have 45 watts rms anyway and the only way they could have have 200 wats or something crazy like that is if lighting struck it. please correct me if im wrong as im new to car stereos but the bottom line is they jsut told me a bunch of bullshit right?
Your problem is you went to a sterio shop, you should have gone to a stereo shop!

99.9% of all dealers are full of it.its called salesmanship LOL
do your own research.find what you want and go from there.Ask around to people to give a demo of there system.
Tell you one thing the best type of dealer is one that in some cases point you elsewhere for gear you need or want.This is a dealer to stick with!
