Another viable option would be the Kenwood KAX-X20. 2x180w with 14.4V input. They've been getting decent reviews.

Holy crap have they dropped the price on that big time. Six months ago it was around $200, iirc.

that profile is still a ****en steal. can anyone vouch for there quality? i dont want something shitty, but thats a **** good deal. The kenwood isnt looking so bad either. but will there be a difference between the two?

These amps are great. My buddy is letting me use his until I find a permanent amp, and I'm liking it so far. I've only had it about a week, and have used the car maybe 3-4 days, so not much listening time so far. For the price, I think I may pick one of these up for good.

I haven't had any personal experience with them, but when I was looking for a budget amp I did a lot of searching and didn't find any bad reviews on them - and quite a few nice reviews. Maybe somebody with some personal experience will chime in.

im hearing alot of good things. i'll probably go with that. that just means more money i can put into home audio haha

i have an intresting idea, tell me if its just plain stupid though. Since im getting one set of comps, and replacing my doors with that, would it be to my advantage to leave the front speakers in, and maybe fade to the comps more, so the dash has alittle full range, and the tweets, and the midbass in the doors? or should i just scrap them

You could always try it out, but I would just scrap them. RSd's + 150w a side = Plenty.
