amp/speaker selection

[justinf89]

I'm looking to upgrade my 4 speakers to around 60w each rms and get an appropriate amp and I'm up for suggestions. I don't really know how to size the amp to the speakers but I was looking at this amp from kenwood.

-60w (rms) x 4 (4ohm)

I'm not stuck on this particular one but I can get it for $100 shipped and couldn't find anything comparible.

For the speakers, I don't know what wattage I need to go with but I was looking at these, but also, If there are other brands I've missed for better, please let me know

-60w (rms), 4 ohm -> $45 a set shipped


The head unit I have is the kenwood d-din DPX308U so that's why I was looking at kenwood stuff. I plan to use the rca outs for the amp so I won't need line inputs.

If thats what your looking to get I don't see anything wrong with your selection. There is a sticky in this section that has a whole bunch up brands if you want to look at something else.
