Amp Upgrade?

It's hard to say not knowing the amp your running or the components your powering.Lets say(for example)you have a sony amp and it's rated at 40w rms,I'm sure it will not actually put out 40 watts rms.So with that being said,it really depends on what you have and how much money you are willing to spend.

 

Why don't you bridge both amps and reset your gains?It's not that hard and you'll double the power at the same ohms.I am running an eclipse ea3422 to my comps,bridged to give 100 watts rms to each side.Just an idea,give it a try.

 

Doubling the power to your speakers will yield 3 decibals of increased output. So if you go from 110 decibals at 40 watts, you will get 113 decibals at 80 watts. This will not only increase output, but from a dynamic range standpoint, will help also.....But also keep in mind, that for the human ear to percieve a change in volume it takes about 4 or 5 decibals....

If it was me, i would give it a try. each 4 channel amp run as a 2 channel in bridged mode should make for a nice difference.

 

Good analogy Viking.You already have the amps so it's like free power.Most 2 or 4 channel amps are bridgeable,but the lowest ohms is usually 4.Some amps are 2 ohm stable when bridged,but not many.If you have a sub that's 4 ohm and a amp that is stable at 1 ohm your fine,but if you have a sub that's dual 2(wired to 1 ohm)and a amp that's only stable down to 2 ohms your amp will overheat and go into protect.
