amp question I am installing two pairs of 6.5 inch mtx 8.6 thunder components. My question is the rms for them is 60 watts. I found a thunder 404 amp with 35 watts rms x 4 and the thunder 684 with 60 watts rms x 4. There is about a 100 dollar price difference. Which one should I get. The rest of my system is two dual voice coil mtx thunder 8000 10's with a mtx thunder 1000D amplifier and the stock headunit until I can afford a indash dvd player.
everyone bashes on them but you can get a sony xplode off ebay for about 80 bucks or so, 4 channels 100w each, which is good because you dont have to turn the gains up high to run them, i personally think its a great amp for components/speakers but not for a sub.

Usually due to wrong ohm load. It could also be a transistor going bad in the amp.

Get the bigger amp, it will make your front stage come to life. Make sure to cross them over at 100hz and up.
