60X4 or 80X4 was better for the speakers?

thanks

High volume is kinda arbitrary though. volume isn't a standardized value and there is a lot more that comes into play. 60 watts rms to an infinity coaxial is going to be a lot louder then 60 watts to; say, dynaudio components. now... i said 'louder' i didnt say better. :-). And volume isn't the main reason why you'd want more power from the amp, remember my analogy about the go kart. so what's 'better' for the speaker and the sq... well 80 watts rms x 4 would be better then the 60 wrms x 4 if everything else is the same.

in my system i have an amp that is purely for my tweeters (8 ohms) and is pushing them at 75 watts rms. are the tweeters ever going to see that much power? def not but my amp isn't going to strain even at the highest listening volumes and that means clean clean sound (that gets quickly masked by my exhaust

)

thanks
i think a lot of times people read something but dont fully understand it. car audio is very confusing and i have been caught in the past (well...even now i get caught sometimes

) making some generalization. but the op took it to the max on this one
