Default Amp Suggestion???

So I'm piecing together my new system for my '00 coupe. I have already installed a set of Coax Boston's in the rear slots, and have a set of Polk Momo 6.5 components on their way.

I'm leaning towards the Alpine 9856 head-unit but am open to suggestions on that.

But my real question... what amp should I look at in the <$300 range to power the components and my 10" JL sub... I'll probably just run my Boston's off the H/U.

Thanks,
J

One of my fav amps is the Polk Momo C400.4 you can find em for 300 dead on on ebay. My birthsheet put it at 94X4 @ 4ohms. Very elegant looking amp as well, semi pricey but I would buy another one in a hearbeat. Will do about 225 X2 @4ohms.

Infinity 7541a can be had for a little under 200 via the ebay. Will do 111X4 @4 ohms and 280X2 @4ohms bridged.

Eclipse xa4000 is a very stout and killer amp. Does 125X4 @ 4ohms and 350X2 @40hm bridged. This would be killer for your setup awesome build quality and would power ur momo components right to there rms rating and woudl do killer sub duty.


Kicker zx650.4 goes for about 300 on ebay as well. Will do 120 X4 and 324X2 when bridged, also a very solid amp.

My choice would be the eclipse or the polk both have top notch build quality. If it were my car the Eclipse would go in there in a heatbeat, other wise polk or kicker. One nice think about the polk is all the wires and controls are hidden.
