I got two alpines 6x8 speakers type s. I am pushing them with the stock wiring in the truck and a dual headunit. The headunit is pushing about 240 peak and 18 watts rms. the speaks are about 230 max and 75 rms. Do you go by rms for a loud speaker? Also when i turn my radio all the way up the speakers do not sound clear and dont have much bass on them. I was wondering since the speakers are 75 rms and the radio is 18 rms wouldnt that mean the speakers are a good bit underpowered? And if so what would be a good amp to run them with?How many rms and peak watts would the amp have to be? Thanks.
