Channel Amplifier

How to match a 4 channel amplifier with 4 speakers?

I know when choosing an amplifier you want to come as close as possible to matching the speakers peak power. What I don't want to assume is that if I have 4 speakers each putting out 200 watts peak a total of 800 watts peak. Do I match the 800 watts peak with a 800 watt amplifier? I'm just making sure there isn't a different way to do the math.

Most of the time you want to match the RMS not the peak because once you clear the RMS your going to automatically clear the peak,

The main problem with most people they want to turn the gain of an amp over half way,

You are never suppose to do this, its bad for the amp and a speakers as long as you keep this in mind and stay with end your RMS you should be ok...

And use 4ohms with everything this way it will last as long as you own your vehicle and nothing will blow!
