I have a set of Alpine SPR-174A 6.5" coaxials in my front doors and I ran the extra wire that is connected to the crossover through my doors so im not using stock wiring anymore. I plan to buy another set of these coaxials for the rear as well but I think I should get an amp.

These speakers are rated at 40w RMS and 160w Peak Power. I need a 4 channel amp but i'm not sure what amp to get and I don't know how much I need to drive these speakers well, how many watts for each speaker should I be looking for?

 

40 watts rms per ch. 94

haha yeah that would probably be it u dont wanna push too hard on ur speakers can blow them out... and wat is the point of havin a huge amp when u got these tiny speakers that cant handle them

 

Ok should I be looking for 40watts x 4 @ 2ohms or @ 4ohms?
