I have a pair of 4x6" rated 40 watts RMS @ 4 Ohms, each, and a pair of 6x9" rated 55 watts RMS each @ 4 Ohms . I got lucky that the resistance is the same which makes amp shopping much easier but still leaves the question "what rating should my amp be? 40, 45, 50, 55 watts RMS x 4 channel?" I'm very aware of the dangers of "underpowering" and "overpowering", thats not the issue. With proper tuning i need to know what would be the "least harmful" option to power all 4 together? Im assuming 40 watts. Thanks again guys!
