of it this way: if your 12V car battery has a cracking amps on the
order of a few hundred amps, than how can a 4A power supply harm the
radio?
You want as much a power supply as possible, within reason, to take care
of
the peek transients, otherwise your radio may sound distorted at higher
volumes. Its a car radio, not a high end amp, shouldn't be all that
critical. Anyway, yes, a 4A power supply is better than a 1.5 amp power
supply.
