2 channel amp question

2011_6Spd · 11-27-2013, 08:38 PM

So I put in my component speakers powered with an aftermarket headunit (17w rms). Everything sounds great when I'm parked but when I'm flying down the road it just seems like the component woofers aren't hitting very hard. I got crystal clear highs but not much thump. The component speakers I got are rated for peak 45w rms. Do I need to get a 2 channel amp with about 50w rms per channel to make em hit harder. I'm not looking for <40Hz thumping but it just seems that the woofers aren't getting the power they need. I've verified they are wired in correct phase too.

I've looked for a 2 chnl amp but the ones I find seem to have crapola SNR of around 80dB. I'm used to amps in the 95-100dB SNR range. Any opinions on these lower SNR amps? I'm not looking to spend much more than about $150 for a small 2 channel amp. Any recommendations from the audio gurus?
