Subject: Main speaker amp suggestions?

I'm looking for either one or two amps to power my main speakers.

The backs are 6x9 Infinty with a 100w RMS and 300w peak rating.

The fronts are the same.

I'm thinking 50~100w RMS should do it, sinse that's what they're rated for, but I could go lower(25w~50w x 2) for the rears.

Any suggestions?

I'd like to keep it under $200 for the amp(s).

Thanks

CarDomain is offering a decent sounding US Acoustics, a low-cost 4-channel in your price and power range.

DYohn you should know better that amps don't sound different, but I would check out the ARC Kar series, they might sound good. Good specs/price on that amp you picked.

Eh?  Actually amps sound very different one from another.  It's all about the electronics used in the build and the design!

I'm with Dyohn on this one.

There is a difference in amps, but wheather or ont it's detectable by the human ear is a different story.

Things like SNR, THD, headroom(minimizes THD), lowest Ohm stable(Lower Ohm = higher THD).

that it is, damn rain won't leave us in the bay.

No I absolutely agree that amps sound different just had to add some humor about a prior situation.

Sorry about the regression here Poormanq45
