Just bought a 4000 Watt Speaker AMP

Probbably the loudest cheapest speakers I can find at the goodwill.

They usually have massive Pioneer speakers for like 5 bucks on 80% off days.

I'm not going to drop a g note on speakers until I get paid for using them, ye dig?

Well, just make sure if you're buying a pair that they're 250 watts(RMS) or more@ 8 ohms, or 350 watts(RMS) or more@ 4 ohms. That's not peak but average. Please understand that "Stats" are always written in a way to make the product look more impressive than it really is. For instance, you said you bought 4000 watt amp, that may be the case but only into one(mono) 4 ohm speaker when bridged and NOT RMS but peak.

Gotcha.

I'll read a comprehensive guide to buying amplifiers tonight. Your thumbs up to my purchase has me feeling quite secure.

Thank you SirReal

No need to get snarky. I just don't want you to A:hook up way to many speakers thinking you have 4000 watts to divide between them or B:Hook up speakers that are way over or underrated for the rating of your amp. That's how things blow or catch on fire. Other than that, congrats on your purchase and I hope the ladies sitting on the speakers are warm & wet from the vibrations, although that may be more based on your track selection.

Huh? I didn't mean to come off snarky. Thats the last thing I intend to do. I really do appreciate your advice SirReal, I swear to god.

Sorry, I misinterpreted your statement regarding "comprehensive guide to buying amplifiers", chalk it up to sarcastic interwebisms. Cheers on the purchase and rock the chica's my friend.
