I don't know whether it will be enough or not..

I'm looking at a PPI 4400 amp, which is 50W X 4.. I'm getting either Focal Polyglass 165v or DEI Neodymium 3065 components within a week or so.. they are both rated at 100W i believe.. I'd like to power them with a nice amp, what do you think I should pay for this PPI amp, 6 months used? It retails for a little over 400$ new.. Should I be looking at it at all, will 50W be enough or am I really underpowering my comps? Any problems with this?

thanks in advance.

No, as long as you arent blasting them, you wont have any problems with giving them 50 watts.

thanks,

I don't plan on playing music at moderate volume ALL of the time... do you mean blasting as in playing it at full volume? I say I'd go up to 3/4 volume or so.. would that be a problem?

...but to be on the safe side, I'd check to see what the tweets can handle vs. the midrange. If you're going to be playing music at 3/4 of the max, you just might want to check it out. If the sets are rated at 100W RMS, then you shouldn't have any problems whatsoever with the amp pushing that.

Since I'm not all that familiar with PPI amps, you should find out if the 50W x 4 is an RMS rating or if it's a MAX rating, and at what ohm load rating is that? The PPI amp may push more with a lower speaker load (4-ohm load vs. 2-ohm load). I'd try to find out everything that amp is capable of before you put your hard earned $$$ down on the table. Hope that helps!

50 is fine, I suggest the focals, screw dei. $200 bucks for the amp.

I think I posted this somewhere. One of my ppls here is a certified audio installer. He said the damage to the speaker maybe worth if you underpower it...he went into 15-minute explanation I dont remember anything about. But this was my Q. to him, if I get a components rated at 50W rms, what kind of AMP I'd need to get. He said look at 70 rms per channel...4-channel amp.

PPIs are solid amps, I would be suprised if it isn't rated at RMS wattage. With that amp you will be fine on whatever speakers you push. If the amp is underpowered it will have to work harder to push the speakers and not give them a clean signal. But with a quality amp like that you can play it wide open all day and have no problems, and 50x4 should be plenty of sound. I have never had any more than 75x4 in any of my 3 systems...
