most HU's built-in amp nowadays have 45~50w rms power output kaya ok na iyan.
It isn't RMS. Head units just have around 20W of RMS power in them unless you're touting an Alpine with a power pack module installed. Still, 20W is enough for the majority of users.

I would say that's not due to brand but because of tweeter material. JBL/Infinity originally used metal domes as their material of choice. This, while technically superior, is extremely harsh sounding if you're using them incorrectly. For the tweet volume, just tone it down. Personally, I'd classify JBL/Infinity as rather neutral.

This might surprise you but Harman, being a huge audio conglomerate, tries to conform their speakers on what typical listeners like their sound signature to be: high on the bass, neutral on the mids, a gently downward sloping curve sa highs. They have a white paper on that one.

1. Is your amplifier power enough?
Most likely it is. Most people just need 50-75W of RMS power for their fronts really. Unless you're part of the population who listens loudly. Power is exponential it isn't a multiple: 100W of power isn't twice as loud as 50W. Want twice as loud (+10dB) of 50W? Try 500W.

2. RF is under-rated
Contrary to popular opinion, this isn't true anymore. It used to be in the past as Rockford was conservative in testing their numbers (ex. testing at 13.8V rather than 14.4V). RF follows CEA figures so it's neither under-rated or over-rated if you compare it to another CEA-certified amp.

3. Rockford Fosgate
Winterpine Marketing is the distributor of it. I would recommend you wait for their quarterly sale in their HQ as some goodies can be had for a discount. Would I recommend buying them online? I am neutral. Reason for this is that RF has great quality control and it's unlikely you'll get a lemon. Historically, RF enjoys one of the industry's lowest return/exchange rates as a statement of one of our leading car audio shops. If you just want to check the price, check out Mickey's website. I use it to get SRP pricing too :D

That's all.
