It helps when you lay out a price range you are willing to spend within. You want a two channel amp with about 170 RMS. There are a few two channel full range class D amps that can do this, but they are bit expensive. If you want a big class A/B, there are lots of options.

I think that will although I still like the old school RF stuff. Which what I have. It still maybe better amps for those speakers.

I like the small footprint and higher efficiency of a full range class D. I tend to avoid bridging because I think it stresses the amp and shortens the life of of an amp, although an RF or JL would probably handle it better than most.

i run a pair of hifonix amps, one for my fi q 12 and one for my cdts, although they called for 150 rms (cant remember the model), which i think is more than you need

I think the early PDX series got a bad rap for having some noise floor issues. Supposedly the newest version of them has cleared up all the issues. I haven't heard either version for myself, only did some reading when I was looking to buy. I settled on the Pioneer 4-channel as a good quality value buy, but there are better units out there for more money. The "Premier" PRS series is a cut above the GM series that I bought, twice the warranty, etc.

WB will kill your links if they go to non-sponsor vendors, btw (mod policy). Try to link forums of manufacturer sites if you want to show something.

Fixed. I don't make the rules, I just work here.

Just to help out a little, here is the manufacturer's page for the deleted link in the earlier post: http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/produ...item_id=108230

It sounds like you're looking for a 2-channel amp but FWIW I just installed a set of the EU's in the front doors, powered by an Infinity Kappa 5 and they sound incredible.
