I have a pioneer headunit and it puts out 200 watts. Well my brother gave me an amp that he did not care about cause he upgraded and it is a 200 watt punch amp that he gave me. would there be any reason for me to use this over my headunit? or would i just be wasting my time?

 

It will be better than the HU amp. Which model is the amp?

 

Add the amp. Your HU does not put out that much power. Garaunteed. Which punch amp is it?

 

yes. amp your speakers if at all possible. i used to think i didnt need to amp my cdts but boy was i wrong.

 

I would say run the amp, but rember there is alot 2 do, unless you have it installed. Power, ground, remote, rcas, tap into the speaker wires. Is it a 4 channel amp?

 

i also have a pioneer head unit.. they put out about 19-22 rms per channel

 

your headunit is probably a 50x4 = 200watts max with mosfet. most likely you are getting 13.5watts or 22watts rms. so i'd suggest you to amp them.

 

You can get a two channel and get some of these bad boys http://www.thezeb.com/p-Audiobahn-AC...ers-100304.htm

Then wire a 0ga power and a 4ga ground and run a power/ground block so it can feed off of that.

 

The power and ground cables should be the same size.

 

uhm first of all make sure there components lol. and yes why not since you have the amp use it! it will sound good. you dont need 0 or 4 awg for that amp. 8 is fine
