Gold Member Username: JtownTexas Post Number: 3836 Registered: Mar-07 | Steve said an 55.4 bridged would be the best, e.g. 150 wrms. I'm not thinking of elite components. 2ch is fine, 4 ch bridged would be the same. if you bridge you will need Y connectors for the RCAs to control fade and balance. |

They are also offered at a very good cost right now. |
