Best Amp for my setup

[grant862 10+ year member]

I have an Alpine 9847 HU, Boston s55 in the kick panel and Boston s953 in the rear, i dont plan on adding a sub to the system and if i did, id get a seperate amp for the sub but what amp would you all recommend me getting to power my 4 speaker setup. I have no idea at all about amps other than they make things sound better. And my budget is under $300. Thanks

for the s55 the rms is 35watts and the 6x9s in the rear are 45w with a peak of 140 i believe

Orion 4004 or a similar directed amp would be my choice...

any other suggestions that i might be able to pick up at circuit city or goodguys or tweeter and have them install?

if it must be purchased at one of those places, i say a small rockford. not sure what goodguys or tweeter carries. rockford makes solid amps, but since you'll be buying there and having them install it, your gonna get ****ed over.

You should consider a 5 cannel amp. That would allow you to control your front and rear speakers with a channel for each and leave room to add a sub down the road. You have already mentioned a sub in the speaker forum so you may as well plan for it now. Some srggestions might be the PG Octane or Memphis Belle or even the Autotec that is listed in the classifieds here.
