this is what i'm running:

JL Audio XR570csi (5X7 components) 70 watts continuous (rec. amp power 25w-150w)

Pair of JL Audio 10w0's (8ohm) wire parallel so 4 ohm load in a sealed box.  125w/channel.

No rear fill

Need help in choosing a amp setup:

1. KX650.4 Giving approx. 120w/ch. to comps and 325w to sub (bridged)

2. KX550.3 Giving approx. 70w/ch. to comps and D class mono 210w to subs

3. KX200.2 AND KX250.2 -> 2 channel giving 70w to comps and 250 bridged to subs

THANKS!

Thanks for the feedback guys.  Why do you think it would be a better choice?  The only thing it's give me more is ALOT more power for my comps.  I don't run rear fill and 165w/ch is ALOT for my comps to handle.  Wouldn't you think the 650.4 would be a good choice?  90-120w/ch for comps and an underrated 325w to the 250w subs.  Should be good, no?

I can see the 700 being ideal if i used rear fill, and possibly more flexibility down the road, but right now i can't afford the extra $50 or so.

I'm leaning toward the 650...

I'm leaning toward the 650...

I'm leaning toward the 650... unless you guys can justify your choice.

That's right. ONE pair of 5X7 components.  No rear fill.
