Because I have a head unit that does 50 watt, or 45 watt rms to the speakers, and my brother has an oldish Alpine 4 channel 45watt amp. Does it give better power if it coming directly from an amp rather than a head unit? I mean I plan on amping my speakers, but why would someone want to use an amp that has the same power as their head unit? Thanks Josh |
