Next Question,
When I get my rear speakers I will also be getting an amp, from what it sounds like based on what I have been told thus far, for better sound quality I will want to amp the front speakers too. With the continuous power rating for my front speakers (20W) this would mean I could only get a amp that is rated for 20W if I didn't want to blow out the front speakers too quickly, is that right?
So if I want to have more sound I should also upgrade my front speakers. Or is the stereo good enough for the front and I should just amp the rear speakers and then use the fader on the stereo to get a good balance?
It is best to make sure that your speakers can handle the Peak Power output. This will first sound better, because the speakers will be operating well within their designed range of operation. They will aso not distort the sound on the ocasions where you decide to "crank" the volume. Finally, being able to handle the power, you won't blow them.
The last part of your questions is where personel preference and resources (money) come into play. You might find that installing an amp for just the rears is fine. Then again it might not be adaquate for your needs. The nice thing about these components, is you can always add a second amp for the front later.
I would suggest that if you decide to go this route to "pre-wire" for the amp when you do your initial installation. That way when you do decide to add the second amp., it's just "Plug and Play".
