I decided to ditch my mono amp/subwoofer because of the weight so I'm going to go with a 4-chan amp to power my speakers. Can someone recommend a good budget-friendly amp?

Speakers are some (2) 6.5 Boston Acoustics and (2) 6.5 Pioneers with an aftermarket head unit.

I run a Polk PA600 and it is pretty good.

Pioneer GM-D9500F, full range class D. 75Wx4 @ 4 Ohm. Small, reliable, good SQ. Street price ~$160. What's your price limit?

Depends. I'm trying to sell my Kenwood KAC-9102D mono amplifier to help out with the cost for a 4-channel.

DoubleMods: I would like a brand name like Pioneer or Kenwood, etc. What do you have in name brands?

I have the new Kenwood eXcelon mini amps instock and have all Pioneer
If your looking for full size I would go with Powerbass as something to consider as well

Call me or PM me for best pricing as MAP pricing guidelines restricts me form posting best pricing.

I do also have 1 Vibe Slick A1 left instock for 100.00 shipped as well

I highly recommend PowerBass. I had their 4 channel 800w for my inners in my 99 FB for over 3 years. It performed great out of the box and the quality never dropped off.

Alpine MRP-F300 is great for the price, the Kenwood Excelon kac-f600 is an awesome amp for the money and can be found cheap online as they were discontinued last year due to their footprint. The Focal solid 4 is also a great amp for the money and is pretty compact.

I don't know - I'm a sucker for name brands. I rather go with a reputable company.

Autotek is a NAME brand, its one of 4 sub-companies owned by Maxxsonics, the others are MB Quart, Hifonics and Crunch they are basically the same just sold under the different names kinda like how HP and Compaq computers are the same company but still sell under the 2 different names.

I never recommend a brand I don't use and I'm running the 2500.1 of the same line of amps and it is hands down the best amp I've every owned and I've had Kenwood (burned up), Alpine (sensitive to the magnetic field of the sub, had to actually move the amp further from it), Boss (crappy brand then worse now), American Legacy (total crap from my teenage years) and 3 previous Autotek amps that I loved (one was stolen, one lost along with the car to a flood and my third Autotek was fried from a hard off from a Boss headunit).

The Build Quality on this series of Autotek Mean Machine Amps are top notch, even sitting in the direct sunlight of the back glass (un-tinted) of my firebird it will NOT overheat, the sun hitting it creates more heat then this amp ever will make on its own.

RMS rating of only 63 watts x 4 channels? I'm not going by their "Dynamic" rating numbers because I'm worried they are inflated.

? where are you getting this 63 watts from? if you need more there is the M2000.4 that's double the power for only 20 or 30 dollars more.

do yourself a favor and get the Alpine MRP-F300 for about $125 from an authorized reseller with a full 1 year warranty, you can't beat Alpine's knowledge that has been built up over the years and still spend so little and get a warranty from a reputable company

its a no brainer or I would carry Crunch and Autotek at my shops, you get what you pay for
