JVC sound system...advice plz....

I've a JVC (KDSV-3000) Audio system (mp3 & Audio CD).
I've 2 Boston Speakers (150W) from a Mitsubishi Magna 2003. The sound is good but it is not uo to the par that i want it to be. On higher volumes the speakrs just don't stand it.
My JVC Audio Systems has an amplifier MOSFET 50Wx4.
What do u advice for me ? 4 speakers will improve the audio quality, volume & bass too.
how about JVC - 2 Speakers (250W) in the rear & 2 Speakers (200W) in the front doors...
Please advice.

Check the RMS wattage of your Boston Acoustic speakers. it will be written on the magnet.

The headunit gives 50x4 maximum power, but in RMS (that is continious power) it gives 18x4 at most. Meaning your speaker gets 18 watts to run most of the time.

So your speakers are basically underpowered.

Get an amplifier for your current speakers if you want to go for a low budget solution.

Take an amplifier. 2 channel amplifier ... for the watts of the amplifier ... check the book and see the wattage it gives at the rating "RMS Wattage 2 channel @ 4ohms" ... you need to match this with the wattage of your speakers.

Either you can calculate your power need yourself or tell me the speakers RMS wattage.

Anywho to calculate it yourself, you will need to make sure that the wattage of the amplifier for 2 channels + 18watt (from your headunit) will match the RMS wattage of your speakers.

Meaning IF your speakers can handle 70 watts RMS... then an amplifier which puts out 50watt RMS at 2Channels @ 4ohms will be perfect.

This will drasitcally improve the sound quality at higher levels.
