did the search but came up nothing. so here i go.
my ride is a 95 240sx with the OEM clairian amp and cd reciver. i upgraded head unit to a sony3300 which out put 52x4 hooked up to the OEM clairian amp with an wiring adapter. now i have 2 pairs of infinity kapaa speakers that recommand work best at 75w. how much watts or rms am i getting ?

well the sony deck would be giving it 26rms or 52 max. You have to tells us how much the amp puts out and just add it up, if its to much turn down your amp a bit so u dont blow your speaks

it's an facotry OEM amp that comes with the car. the oem speakers are rated at 40w each from the spec at bottom of them. does that mean oem amp puts out 160w/rms total ? the tech guy from cruntchfield.com told me that my oem speakers were working at 2oms. any idea ? guys ? thank you.

thank you Mr. sr20det. that answers my question. do you know where i can find the wiring diagram for my factory amp? i don't wanna re-run the speaker wires to the front. so much hassel.

here is da pic. Does it mean my new infinity speakers are running at 2ohm, 40watts ?

No, never look at the max wattage. The "Nominal" or RMS wattage is what is useful in determining the actual power output of the speakers. So yours are running at 20 Watts.

hell..i never even look at the RMS ratings on speakers. i can't remember when the last time i looked for it

i have no sub, only 4 infinity speakers. when i set bass at max. the highs tend to fade out when the bass hits. if i lower the bass, it's fine. should i add a sub+D-amp? or upgrade to a 4-channals amp to power the speakers?

if you want more bas while maitaing you high and mids then you shoudl get a sub. then use your regular speakers to do the mid and high work. a crossover would help in this endeavor.

simply and a good idea. i think i'll do that. thanx for replay.
