welcome, welcome.

i would have to agree, quality over quantity. especially with amps, even if you are trying to go for a big sound that is very loud, a much lower rated (wattage), high quality amp will sound better and louder (and cleaner) than some total cheap p.o.s. Of course nothing will sound all that great until you put some decent speakers in place of the factory ones. I don't care what anyone says about amps or head units or any other part of any kind of stereo, the speakers are the most important part for sound quality.
