depending on the ammount of speakers, but for example if you just buy a new h/u that is 51 max * 4 ull run about 17 rms to the speakers, and the speakers will be a little bit more clear depending on the distortion rate on the h.u, but if the speakers arnt bad dont replace them, thats my advice

im trying to keep weight down thats why the 1 10" but i still want the hard hitting bass and clarity . but i guess ill buy the head unit and give the speakers a try for a few weeks then see what i want to do.

and don't bother with alpine's amps. they may be the best you'll find at best buy or circuit city, but there's much better out there. their s/n ratio is borderline shitty. i assume that's a byproduct of trying to pack too much power into such small packages.

Signal to Noise (S/N) : 90dBA
Which is for the same for the 1000 and 600 watt digital amps.

I pulled the 90 db SN from the Alpine website.
http://iweb.alpine-usa.com/pls/admn/...in=10&p_more=y
and
http://iweb.alpine-usa.com/pls/admn/...in=10&p_more=y
respectively
I can only guess that they also UNDER rate their amps as well, simular to Xtant / PPI.
