The Pioneer Premier TS-C720PRS ($250) component set is a popular choice here..MRP F300 while not bad, it isn't the best, the Alpine PDX 4.100 ($270) might be a better choice...

I think the MRPF300 is a great amp if you dont wanna spend the extra bucks for the pdx just for the smaller footprint.

IMO alpine speakers are garbage

Agreed. I have the 720's and I like them a lot. I run them from an Xtant X603 Amp at 75 watts/channel. I'd like to run more power to them... but they get plenty loud with the 75 watts.

Also a good choice.
