If you are working with limited space such as in a compact car then the overall amplifier footprint is a huge factor. The amp has to be small enough to fit in the right place but powerful enough to output the sound you expect. If the amp is the right size then you want to make sure it can power all the speakers you plan to connect to it whether it be a set of subwoofers or all the speakers in your car.
Now that your amp will fit where you need it to go and has the necessary amount of channels we have to determine if it will power the speakers to there full potential. Many car audio electronic brands will print large numbers on there boxes to sell more products but in reality these numbers are just deceitful marketing practices boasting numbers that you will never see or hear. What you want to look at are the RMS power rating of your amplifiers and at what impedance these ratings are calculated. You also want to consider the wire gauge and fusing requirements for your amplifier to make sure it is getting enough juice. The last factor that can play a huge part in your amp buying decision is amplifier class. The class of the amp will have an impact on how it reproduces sound and it’s overall footprint. While some customers may not be able to tell the difference others will always have a favorite amplifier class.
