I'll be getting a Max here in a couple of weeks, and trying to plan ahead. The cabin speakers will need an amp. I'm not sure exactly which Wetsounds model they are, but it looks like all of their current 6.5's are rated the same at 100w RMS @4ohm.

My question is what is the ideal amp rating for a 4 channel amp where each speaker gets it's own channel since the Max comes with 4 in boats. Would the Kicker KMX 400.4 (100w RMS @4ohm) leave power on the table? The next step up is something like the WS Syn-DX4 (125w), but it's about a $300 price difference. How much power can you throw at a 100w w/o damaging it?
