Ok, whats the benefit of amping your speakers, other than just giving your speaker more power. Because I have a head unit that does 50 watt, or 45 watt rms to the speakers, and my brother has an oldish Alpine 4 channel 45watt amp. Does it give better power if it coming directly from an amp rather than a head unit? I mean I plan on amping my speakers, but why would someone want to use an amp that has the same power as their head unit?

Thanks
Josh

It'll give you wider tuning and wiring options. 2 or 4 ohm loads, filters, gain settings to control clipping. It just gives you more control over your sound than just straight off the HU.

an amplifier, even at 40 watts continuous per channel will produce a lot more clean power and have much more dynamic headroom than any had unit could hope to produce.
