Amplifier for DLS speakers

[texast]

I bought a set of DLS R6A components for my car. From what I have researched and heard, these components will need an ext amp to bring out the best in them. My HU is a JVC XR810 and I'm looking for great SQ, not banging bass. What amp do you recommend pushing the DLS. I'm a home audio guy and know little about car audio..so any help is appreciated.

If you don't care about amping your rear speakers (which I don't really think needs to be done in the vast majority of cases) then this will do the job inexpensively and relatively efficiently: Precision Power P600.2 (p6002) 2-Channel Phantom Car Amplifier (You can shop around - I just linked it from one online store that I am familiar with)

I also highly recommend some sound deadener and sealing off any holes in your door skin with something rigid (fiberglass, or at least Alphadamp) as it will improve output (especially bass) by sealing the woofer's back-wave from the front-wave thus improving efficiency, lowering excursion, improving distortion, and improving maximum output capability. I actually think it is as important or more important than adding an amp.

I don't plan to amp the rear speakers. I will be sound deadening the door panel and stuffing them with Roxel sound insulation. My budget is

Buy one of this guy's amps then: http://www.caraudio.com/forums/amplifier-classifieds/528898-3-old-school-ads-amp.html

Note: I don't know that guy. I like a/d/s, though, and the prices are good as is his feedback rating.

If new then perhaps http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_17366_Rockford-Fosgate-PRIME-R150-2.html

Wire either one up with like 6 gauge. No need to go crazy. If you've got a sub amp then go for the 4 gauge.
