Orion 8004 in two channel mode (400rmsx2)on the fronts.
My running voltage has been raised from factory so those power ratings are a bit conservative also.
And my deck has no speaker outputs, only triple 4v pre-outs.

Going to be running my fronts off an Eclipse amp as soon as I get off my lazy butt and install it.

LOL me to, I've always had to use an amp.

Well, actually I used to have a Pioneer DEH-1300, when I had my first car. still didn't use deck power.2 really old Alpine amps(black heatsinks, i forget the model number) to run the fronts and probably a pyramid amp for subs, I forget now.

Used to have a pair of Legacy amp that I moded myself just for the hell of it....actually benched 500WRMS for 3 hours in car before they blew.

Deck power is dirty . I mean it has a high distortion rate by powering your fronts with an amp you will find it much better in terms of clarity
