As you will be safe in every aspect. It states it is 1000w amp but you will never get to that even if a sub as added. Tbh mate you really dont need a big amp as it looks like your only running componants and the max you will ever get which is not advised as the componants can blow is 300w. So with a 1000w amp your ok. However you have to look more at the rms more than the watts as this determins the differance between good speaker loud and good speakers but cant handle loud. Also it is a good choise if you amp the componant dont wire them direct to the citroen cables do it all through the amp you will apprishiate it better. And finally on the amp for first time dont have the gain at max leave it 1/4 of the way for a week so that the speakers wear in i know its tempting but its better than damaging speakers. Then after a week turn up to a half and see how that is and if it can go higher turn the gain up but the second you hear distortion turn it down until it stops and then leave it there.

this is some bad advice. how do you know at a 1/4 its not getting a clipped signal? then to advise turning up :panic:

distorsion can happen well after signal clip and its clip that kills speakers. you can rougly set up a system by ear but really it needs scoping.

All of those amplifiers are pretty much spot on for those componants, i was just asking to see whether or not one would be better than the other for different reasons, maybe cus there different ranges of vibe or whatever,

Yeah i know it will need scoping, i can sort all that out no worries
