4-ohm impedance coil drivers should be quite easily driven by any average, branded amp.
The 2-ohm electrostatics and ribbon speakers are the most paranoid in terms of power amp output matching.

Hi there,

We are students from NTU doing a market research study on Cars. Would be great if you can take 2 mins off to help us complete a survey :)

Y do u need such powerful amps for ur 60w rms speakers?
What amp u want get depends on ur setup?
You wan to run active upfront for the 4channel or bridge the rear for sub?

U just need a 60w rms x 4(4ohm) to power ur speakers.
Do not look just at the max power as the important is the rms.
Do not have to worry that the amp lacks power if u max exactly so long as u get reputable brands as most should be under rated
Just my 2cts
