YOu can't really go by max watts, RMS is what counts. Depending on the model/brand, almost all external amps will perform better than a head unit. Head units don't have the space inside them for a large enough transformer to make good power. The amp will probably give you marginally better SQ, and cleaner power and maybe a bit louder. Just make sure you're not driving it into clipping, which will sound like crap and probably damage your speakers.

Fuzzball is correct but you could just bridge it to two speakers if you want it louder.

older amps might not be bridgeable.
