going to get that good of sound in a convertible with the top down and the engine and air intakes right behind your ears? Do you really want to crank it up considering that your ears are only guaranteed for a certain number of vibrations and increasing the loudness only hastens the time till you'll need a hearing aid?

Lets assume you have good speakers. And a decent radio with 10 by 4 amplification. How much more do you want? And why not settle for a decent mid power amp, and not tempt yourself to crank it up (not to mention how silly you'd sound to other cars that pull alongside with high volume)

Got speakers in the rear? Consider those as their sound gets less lost in the wind.
