Most decks and motorcycle speaker systems have amplifiers built into them, enhancing the sound even further from its original state. These default amplifiers generally lack the power to deliver high-quality sound signals to premium speakers; thus, you need a dedicated amplifier for the job.
How do you match amp power to speakers?
Generally you should pick an amplifier that can deliver power equal to twice the speaker’s program/continuous power rating. This means that a speaker with a “nominal impedance” of 8 ohms and a program rating of 350 watts will require an amplifier that can produce 700 watts into an 8 ohm load.
