Amp upgrade/replacement question for SQ

[vabch22]

Hey guys,

Need some input from you experts out there. Since I do not have any local dealers, I'm asking for advice from those who have experience with some amps.

My current setup:

Front -

lanzar 4x400d (amp)

ID CXS64 v2 (comps)

Rear - None

Subs -

kicker 04kx600.1

2x 12 IDQ's (sealed box from Fox)

HU - Pio AVH-P5700BT

Whole cab Raam BTX II

The amps are old, from my last system a couple years back. I am wondering if replacing either would benefit me in the SQ department? I'm new to SQ, so I'm still learning. I know speakers make the best improvements, but amps can help warm/cool the sound, and of course bring out the speakers potential.

I don't mind putting out the money if I will notice an improvement from different amps for a price/performance point. I know it's subject to everyone's ears, but I'm just looking for opinions.

I'm limited on space since the amps are under the seats. I was going to put them on the back wall, but vents and the power motor for the window doesn't allow that. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I've been looking at the following amps for fronts:

Audison LRx 2.250 (maybe new SR line?)

Arc KS300.2

Clarion XH5210

CV SX220.2

I have the Audison LRx5.1k and I would highly recommend Audison, LRx line or higher. Be warned though, they are not cheap.

I was looking really hard at those Clarion amps too. Those are no doubt in my book going to be an excellent amp for the $$.
