Amp suggestion for Focal 165k2's

[SuckMikeHawk23 10+ year member]

just as the title says... price is an issue, power handling of the speakers are 100rms each... i'd like to stay in the 85-100 watt per channel range, dont mind going over a bit either. i've looked in to the pg octane-r 402, soundstream picassos, and a few hifonics amps, but as of now, i'm partial to a fosgate power 350s... i'd like to stay in the price range (up to $180) of these amps above and am looking for new suggestions before i make my purchase tommorrow... what do you guys think?

I'd pass up on the Rockford myself. PG and Soundstream amps seem to have a bit more of sweeter sounding highs.

well, i was originally gonna get the pg... but looking at the specs, the pg is only a 75x2 as opposed to the fosgate (87.5x2), and the crossover slope of the pg is only a 12db slope as opposed to the 24 of the rf. i havent really taken a deep look at soundstreams, do u have a specific model in mind? thanks
