to power some polk db6500 100watt component speaker system. i'm considering a rockford fosgate p3002 75wattx2, kicker kx350.2, and audiobahn a4002t 100wx2. any others?

 

Might be helpful if you indicate your budget, what kind of performance you're looking for, what size amp, etc.

 

Other brands you should look at are JL Audio, MTX, Alpine.... don't recommend the Audiobahns though (from what I've heard and read they are very overrated).... your price point helps a lot in determining which amp is good for you as well...

 

rockford fosgate p3002 75wattx2, kicker kx350.2, and audiobahn a4002t 100wx2.

these amps run about 130-200 on ebay. new and retail they're about 200-300. my speakers are rated at 100watt, so i'm looking for a 2ch amp somewhere between 75-125 watts but i'm looking for recommendations. price is not as much an issue as finding the proper amp to match the speakers.

 

I'm happy so far with my Alphasonik PMA 2150A. It's rated at 150x2 @ 4ohms. I've only had this amp for a month, however, it is performing very well.

 

Well,

I don't know about *matching* your speakers but there are certainly a number of quality units out there for decent costs:

Eclipse PA4212 130x2 MSRP $300

MMATS SQ2150 150x2 MSRP $699

US Amps USA-1000 150x2 MSRP 819

Zapco 350.2 100x2 MSRP $469


All of those amps are high quality units that will provide excellent performance and minimal distortion. Since you'll be running them well short of their rated power, even with the top down, you'll find they will likely run nice and cool. I don't know that I would try to run that 75x2 amp you've listed if you will be maxing it out. It's better to have a little more power than you need.

I've recommended a MMATS amp to one other poster here and once he finally got around to buying it, I think he was very pleased.


Good luck in your quest.

 

I have the MMATS sub amp, and yeah, it kicks ass. I'm not even using half of the 700w, and I have more than enough bass. I was about to sell my system (and my car), but I have decided not too. So now I have to reinstall everything!

 

Oh, I'm using the Audison LRx2.250 on my Focals. They sound awesome.

 

Here are some amps that will match your MMC6500 (basic colour-wise) and should be within that price range.

Another question, are you sure you're not going to get a sub anytime in the future at all?

 

Natedogg, you were supposed to let me know when you were rolling through Tally, so I could hear your setup. To this day, I have still not heard a good setup in the S2K. When are you going to be up this way. Alternately, what's happening in G'Ville the next few weekends. I wouldn't mind taking another road trip.
