hi,

I have 4 alpine sps-600s in my car, and a sony head unit.  each speaker is 80 watts RMS, and the HU only puts out about 17 watts.... i know that i wont ruin the speakers by playing them off just this HU, that is a truism...

the real question is whether putting in an amplifier to match the rms better would A) improve sound quality and B) alow me to play the speakers at a greater volume without distortion?

im trying to balance out my system becuase my subwoofers are set at the max on their amp and i still cant play them at full capability because the low end of my speakers distorts too early... the sub amp is a 1400 watt Crunch that does not have many controls....

you should try 2 get a better amp because lower end amps usually have higher distortion, and i dont really recommend having 80rms, just get an amp about 50rms
If I'm to loud, then you're too old!!!

those speaksers will handle 80 just fine. i have a pair of type rs and i am pushing them at 175 rms and they have been running strong for a year.  put an amp on them ...  you will love it.  and i agree with memfus...  get a new amp ....  i see those crunch amps all day.  get something name brand that has some low distortion. 
you can do it....

you can achieve MUCH better clarity, depth, and dynamics with the right sound dampening.
My Best Buy kenwood 6x8's can vibrate the side mirrors on certain songs.
