Budget 100x4 and channel questions

[surreal 10+ year member]

Hey guys. Getting some new speakers soon which take 120w rms. My current amp only puts out 70@4ohm.

I have somewhat of a tight budget though, and after poking about I see very few amps that put out 100 watts or more at 4ohms.

So my first question is, are the PA BAMF amps anygood? Ive seen a few good comments on them. Reading a few efficiency comments in another thread has me wondering though. Given the '1600w' BAMF amp is supposed to push 150x4 with 2x25 fuses - does that sound right for an AB? How are people calculating efficiency?

It has a 97db signal to noise with 1%thd at RMS. That doesnt seem too bad, considering I wont be running it at full RMS output anyway. The reason Im asking about this amp is because I get them very cheap, so if itll be sufficient then thatd be wonderful til I feel an upgrade necessary later if ever.

Also, wouldnt it be possible to just get a decent say HiFonics 2ch amp, and wire the speakers for 2ohm? The right front/rear speakers together for 2ohm, and the same with the left? That would only be 2 channels then, not all 4, but music sources are all stereo anyway. Might this be a better choice?

Let me know If Ive made anything unclear. Thanks once more CA.

Ah, good call on the Quart. I was poking about earlier and didnt see a > 100rms version but I had gone through quite a few others as well.

That should power a set of DD cx6.5s (mid + tweeters) just fine, yeah?

Now time for the paycheck to get here.. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
