    Question new EX357 and EX365 speakers, but what head unit?

    I have just bought pairs of EX365 and EX357 speakers, but what head unit should i get to supply power to these speakers? Should I go with a high-powered head or get a regular one and then invest in a dedicated amplifier? By the way, your MM120 sub rocks, literally. Thanks:D

    If your budget allows you to do both, then this is the way to go!!
    Upgrade the head unit and use a dedicated amplifier to drive the 6.5's and the 5x7's. Look for a power rating of 75 to 100 Watts per channel and set the high pass crossovers to 80 Hertz.
    Most high powered head units can only produce about half of its rated power within a reasonable distortion level. At their rated output, the distortion is usually up to 20 to 30 percent!!
    If you enjoy the music, the investment, time, and effort is well worth it.

    Happy Listening!!
