Sounds like overkill!!!!

Yikes!
160 watts pushing stock Porsche speakers???

Unless you keep the volume way low, you'll surely blow those babies.....I doubt the stock speakers can handle more than 40 w rms.....

My advice......Pull back on all those amps, improve the stock speakers, and get yourself 1 6 channel amp or 2 multi channel amps to handle things. Will be cheaper and more efficent, and will still sound a lot better in the long run.

Well... the rear speaker is not stock and can handle the amp I would think. I agree that the doors and front speakers may blow at some point LOL. I guess I'll have to start finding replacement 5'' and 4'' speakers soon.

I've just enlisted the boxs for a car show this December so I'm just gonna go with the amp. With all the $ spent, at least I should make it worthwhile.
