Should i power the Kappa 462.5cfp with my pioneer headset which gives out 25 watts to 50 or should i connect it with my amp? The rockford amp gives out 100watts @ 4Ohm so im not sure if i should connect it with the 462.5cfp. Im afraid that it will make my speakers blow or something to that efffect. Not really sure how amps work but it has a front and rear internal Crossovers so what do you guys think i should do?
Power the front and rear with the external amp. HU's power is deceiving. It'll sound 2x better anyways compared to HU. As for too much power, a speaker will handle a little surge of clean power. When you are reaching the breaking point, you will hear crackling noises. That's a good sign to lower the volume. If you have the room near the front, double up on your speakers so that instead of 60W, you'll get 120W. I did that with my car. It now has more punch.
