Further, trying to get higher volume with a weak amp will only drive
the amp to clip, and this can ruin speakers.  IMHO its better to
upgrade the amp first, to assure clean power, and the speakers
afterwards (if not done simultaneously).

(BTW, I was just playing with a digitizer, and put up a photo of my
trunk floor installed amps into ftp.bellcore.com:/pub/world/jyri/amps.jpg)
