The modern stereo system

90 nominal/180 6X9’s vs 80-100 for your what now?
150 nominal/300 peak for my 10 inch sub, vs your 80-100 watt, nominal? Peak? 1 sub or 2 @ 10 or 12?

She did say she loves it loud.... and something about a hard hitting bass..... if such is the case, on a stereo system, there is no kill like overkill.

I had one earlier system (my first multi amp set up in the ‘80’s) a Pioneer 4 channel amp powering the 4 cabin speakers at 30 watts nominal/ 60 peak and a 10 inch sealed su. Powered by a JVC amp @ 150/300, nom./peak.

I’d call this a better balanced system in all though not loud by any means.

Heck, I had to have more power. Everything I own is supped up in some way or another, and I really enjoy my classic rock. I've got 400 watts going to each of my tweeters, 500 watts going to each of my 4 mid-basses and 1000 watts going to a pair of 12 inch subs, all actively crossed over and digitally processed through a state of the art digital sound processor with time delay.

It sounds like there is a drummer in my dash with a real drum set. No booming bass that shakes the neighbors house and rattles my license plate, but powerful realistic sound that is extremely clear, has full dynamic range and has zero background noise even at high volume. It's one of the pleasures of working hard and building what I enjoy most.
