Amplifier max?
Hey all I'm pretty new and just starting a build in a holden jackaroo. I'm doing an install with two orion hcca 84n mids (2000w max 500rms) and two orion XTW950FD 4.5 tweetrs (600w max 150rms) so that gives me a total of 5200w max and 1300 rms between all 4 and I'm debating o what amp I use.
I'm currently looking at a orion xtr 1000.4 with 4000w max and 165w x4 rms.
what does that really mean and what is the max because I dont wanna blow or damage anything.
I'm also open to other amps if anyone knows stuff that will suit well
cheers

I've been out of the game for a long time, so really can't recommend an amp.
But the 'MAX' rating on equipment is a garbage rating. It means nothing, the RMS is what you need to look at.
MAX rating is a marketing rating, basically it could mean for 1 second the amp put out 5000W (it also caught fire, and never worked again)
So just look at the RMS ratings of amps, and match them up to the RMS ratings on the speakers you are getting.
