Solid AMP Reccommendation for CDT Speakers
I am installing a CDT CL-641 / 3-way speaker system in my C5 and they specify an amplifier with 230 watts RMS 4-channel and 4 ohms with a 100hz high pass. All of that said, any recommendation on a reliable rugged amplifier that fits the bill?
Thanks for your time.

I'm sure others will chime in here. I am planning to get that exact component (CDT CL-641) and plan to use an Elemental Designs nine.2x amp. This will put out 200w RMS x 2 at the 4 ohm load of the CL-641.

These are my all time favorite amps for the money to hype ratio. This company isn't huge, but does produce VERY good clean and transparent amplifiers.

you'll be very hard pressed to find many 4 chan amps at 100+ wrms. you're going to have to look into getting a 2 chan for the doors and a 2 or mono amp for the sub. check out the cdt line of amps as well. they guy who designed them has a great reputatioin among high end amps.

Mostly because the mfr. has to deal with companies that overrate their amps.I promise you this amp can drive those effortlessly with incredible sound quality.

I've audtioned a LOT of amps in the last 2 years and haven't heard one yet that is anywhere close to as clean as the Mc.
In fairness, I have yet to audition a few amps that cost considerably more. They also list very respectable specs, Brax etc., but I'm only vouching for what I've personally heard and listened to and I think they are an insane amp for the $.
