An Amp is like the heart of the system, a Bad amp can make a system with the best speakers sound terrible,
But a Good amp with average speakers can sound good.
The power rating on every amp is not proportional to the output they give, some amps will write big numbers but not deliver, Only amps which are CEA Rated on power will deliver the rated power even when Battery Volate is on the lower side.
Well no amp performs well under 10 Volts, but that is a different story.

Verdict - always have a very good amp and head , Half the jobs done.

This may sound like I am getting a bit too critical with your posts, but the verdict part should actually go - always have good car audio components all around. They should all be of even calibre.

Please don't mind. I thought some newbies might read a bit differently into it.

This depends on the amp's design. There are amps that can 'hold' their power delivery numbers within 2% of rated between 10 to 16 volts. While others could put out upto 50% more power at 16V versus 10V. That's regulation.

Well, no one would want that to happen either. If it did, and did it well, that would be the only electrical appliance still running in an otherwise helplessly-electrically-screwed-up car.

Guys, I have no idea about which amp to go for or which speaker to go for. But what I noticed is the location of the monitor, it make me nervous... Is the intention is to see movie while driving!!. It looks very very scary. Are these allowed as per our Motor vehicle act?

Virender there is no need to make the same post twice. People can read the first one just fine. Please do not do that in the future, thanks.

I would suggest you go for Alpine MRD-M605.
• 250W x 1 RMS (4ohm, 12.0V, 1% THD+N)
• 400W x 1 RMS (2ohm, 12.0V, 1% THD+N)
• 400W x 1 RMS (4ohm, 14.4V, 1% THD+N)
• 600W x 1 RMS (2ohm, 14.4V, 1% THD+N)
• Max. 1.000W x 1
• Frequency Response 20Hz-20kHz (0, -1dB)
• S/N Ratio 90dBA

It costs a cool 22,500/- with B&W. Can handle 2 subs if needed.

here u go for the pioneer D510 if compared to the other mono block this is surley best bang for the buck but the only problem is that it comes in Grey no B&W here...... other wise it is the best money can buy.......

and it can also handle two subs provided they are 4ohms svc......

Frequency Response 20Hz-20kHz (0, -1dB) its saying 20Hz-20kHz this cannot be true..... it is a sub woofer amp not a full range amp......and the site says.....RMS Power (at 14.4V,20Hz-200Hz)
