    Going to use 60 rms speakers per chan

    What rms per chan can amp have (want to use 100 rms amp per chan (more useful in future))

    What clean amp recommendations do you have for 4 x 60rms 4ohms speakers?

    if you have the speakers crossed over high enough you may be able to get away with a little more power.

    my dash speakers only have an rms of 45 watts but i have them crossed over at 300 hz and they've been going strong for over 2 1/2 years. oh and they are getting 100 watts each.

    so long as mechanical and thermal power handling aren't exceeded.
