QUOTE (SwissFerdi @ Aug 6, 2012 - 12:56 AM)  QUOTE (ILoveMySilly97 @ Aug 5, 2012 - 8:21 PM) Can you break this down to me? I don't understand what a head unit is and I don't understand what you mean by power output? Sorry I have no clue when it comes to this. Lol. The deck. A typical aftermarket deck will have something like a max output of 4 x 50 watts, meaning it is capable of transmitting 50 watts in a channel, four in all (left front speaker, right front, left rear, right rear). However, it cannot sustain this output, so there is a more realistic rating, RMS watt: this is more like a steady output, the amount that each channel (and each speaker) constantly receives. So let's say one receiver is rated at 14 RMS, and then another at 22 RMS; from there, a 50% power difference. Dang. I really don't know anything about this stuff. Lol. I'll just have my in law who's experienced in car audio help me out. Thanks though. Lol. -------------------- |

That's the best way to go about it, hands-on experience. QUOTE (Box @ Aug 6, 2012 - 1:33 AM) Looked up, my bad was 22 RMS and 45 peak. Still, plenty for me.  But unless you plan on entering car audio competitions, a standard head-unit is more than enough. Yes, 22 watts is fine; I thought every Pioneer unit peaked at 14 RMS, my mistake.

That's an early-mid 2000's unit I'm looking at. The new ones are 22W RMS and 50W peak. The older 90's models are lower wattage, but so are all the other brands though.
But yeah, if you don't know what to do definitely have someone that does help you out. -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed
