I bought a set of Alpine speakers to replace the crappys stock ones. I am now in need of a amp to run them. The RMS of the speakers are 70W with a peak of 350W. Should the amp I buy have a RMS close to or over what the speakers are?

i may be wrong but i'm pretty sure you want the amp to be @ the rms power. Correct me if i'm wrong, that's just what i've always thought. an amp that would probably be good for those would be the Pioneer GM-X372

You can get an amp in the 60-75 watts rms range and you will be happy.

Should have checked out http://www.hookedontronics.com/ since they have the exact same amp for 254 dollars. That's where I got my head unit from, and they were quick and prompt for delivery too.

If you think I can help, ask me... I'll try my best!

Ive looked at both places. I live in Orlando and they arent too far from me. Are they a place I can walk in or are they internet only ? I tried that price match thing and they told me that they are too far away to be considered a competitor.

i'd tell them to lick my ***. if a business wanted your business then they would match (if thats there policy).

like i just bought a 4 channel 20ft rca.. at one end it has Blue, Green,White, Red little dots on the rca connectors.. then other end has White,Blue, and two red's.. it really isnt hard to figure out which ones are which but come on now.. where is the quality. so i am gonna go back to my buddies shop and see what he says.
