The result of this design is that Class AB amplifiers have much higher efficiency than Class A amps, up to about 60%, and much less distortion than Class B amps. Most home theater and stereo amplifiers and many car amplifiers are Class AB.

Shopping for new speakers to pair with your amp? Choose speakers with RMS ratings equal to or higher than each amp channel's top RMS output. If you're getting multiple pairs of speakers with varying RMS wattage and only one amplifier, just match the amp's output to the lower of the RMS ratings.

Your car amp should be able to provide 50-120% the amount of power as the speaker's continuous or RMS power rating. This will allow the amp to handle any spikes and reliably deal with the car speaker's peak power. Underpowering your speakers can not cause a great deal of distortion to the sound.
