Question

i need a new one and i need to know whats the best to get

Answer 1

They're all pretty much the same.  What you need to pay attention to is the features the deck offers.  Make sure you find with with all the bells and whistles you want.

Answer 2

22W RMS is the highest i've seen

Answer 3

no smaller than 50w per channel...

Answer 4

Stick to buying by features and reliability. You really won't notice a difference in volume between a head unit that puts out 15 watts RMS and one that puts out 20 watts RMS. You need a doubling in power for a noticeable(3db) gain.

Also look at the RMS wattage only. The peak power is almost always bloated and useless. Most units that say 50X4 max are really about 15X4 RMS.
