Default Amplifier Help.

This is not for my vette but for my truck. I spend way more time in my truck and have been upgrading my stereo a little at a time. I got some new speakers for Christmas and now I am ready to buy the amp to drive them. I am gonna use the amp to drive four speakers. The speakers I recieved are Kicker K65.2. They are rated at 75 RMS so, give me some amplifier recommendations. I don`t want topshelf stuff but I don`t want junk either. Thanks for the help guys.

Pretty much anything. US acoustics wuold be good. With Kicker speakers, you don really need to be concerned about getting a super amp, you wont hear the difference.

are you counting your new kickers as 4 speakers or do you have another pair you're going to hook to the amp as well ?

Wulf, There will be four total when it is all done. Two in the front doors and two in the rear doors. Eventually I will add a sub to the setup too.

did you want a seperate amp for the sub? If not you could get a 5 channel to run the whole system.

Didn`t even know they made amps in this configuration. I haven`t done any looking for a long time. That is why I came here. I knew someone here would be in the know.

check out this 5-channel: http://www.sounddomain.com/sku/HIFZ8000

If it's not enough power for ya, then you'll probably have to run a seperate amp for the sub, which raises the costs as well...

depends on where you want to buy, if you do ebay there are a LOT of great low dollar amps. the older soundstream references sell very cheap. phoenix golds xs line does as well. i bought a PG xs2300 for $100 not long ago, also bought a zapco z150 for $87 bucks awhile back. just keep your eyes peeled for deals and you can't go wrong.

:thumbs: search around on the net and see if you can find a better price, cause sound domain is pretty good about price matching.
