Friends don't let friends buy Sony, You have nice speakers, it would be a shame to not give them what they need. While it is a hot topic as to if people can hear a difference in amplifiers, I for one can hear a difference and until the magic amp dust that must be responsible for this is no longer used in amplifiers, I will always recommend a good amp with a good crossover. If this is going into your Neon, it will take oversize 6.5" components all the way around with little effort.

Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.

Kaptions are known for there high bass output in there speakers. So you want to utilize that and by doing so, get a good, high power amp. Like alpine, JBL, JL, MTX, Rockford and such. So sony, no power acoustic, and so on.

Go with something like JL's 300/4 ,Rockford Fosgate's Power551X ,or Alpines MRV-F340. Any of these amps will give your component sets the power they like.

Bring your favorite CDs to the your dealer and have them play your music on the two amps. Try comparing the MRV-F340 and the JL 300/4 (I think the JL is a better amp) to the kaption by ear. If you cant hear a difference between the amps(which is unlikely) then I would just go with the JL. Otherwise its up to you to decide ,we're here to just give you suggestions ,your the one who's writing the check for it so you should decide.

I usually suggest people need to decide how much money they want to spend first, then see what's available from there.
