Front routes: Alpine SXS1357
Amplifier: Monacor Carpower 4/400 or Monacor Carpower 4/600

Too much power is never a bad thing
You will be happy that you got the bigger amp when you had the chance. 40 euros won't matter in the future when you become truly addicted to car audio...

i think the 4/400 would be fine. the sound level difference between the 400 and 600 would be less then 3 decibels.
in my opinion, go for the 400, then if you want more output, save up and ad a second dedicated sub woofer amp

yes but i study and i don't work and i have some problems to obtain 40€ and with this 40€ i can buy the electric instalation no?
if the monacor carpower 4/400 bears the powers and it haven't problems i buy it beaceuse it is cheaper, but it doesn't bear the power i will have to buy the monacor carpower 4/600, but i prefeer to buy the 4/400..
thanks!

I love the idea behind the heat sink. That brings another way to show off an amp in an install, the sides.
If money is tight there's nothing wrong with going with what you can afford, but IF you can, get the bigger of the tw amps. Down the road you'll probably wishedyou had if you didn't.
