True, but most people don't know that they never listen to music at more than 1 watt. With good, efficient speakers (90+db/w) I'd never need more than 16w rms. That'd be painfuly loud with the windows up.
Cthomp has it right. Stick with a cheaper head unit (but with RCA pre-outs) that provides 15-20w with the option to upgrade to an amp later.
