how much is it?

Better yet, how much you trying to spend?

 

[westcoastdon]

I can get that for $50. The most I am trying to spend is around $150 for a good used amp.

Its a nice little 4 x 50 amp. I ran it for a while and its nice if you want to run like 4 coaxes, but in your case, i'd recommend a more powerful 2-channel amp.

probably a nice amp..... I do not think this is one of them, but many of the clarion amps have the same internals as the Arc audio XXK's

I have a Clarion 5 channel that has same internals as the XXK5150

lost of nice amps in your price range....

 

[westcoastdon]

Okay, what are some amp recommendations you guys have then for my speaker choices that are within my price range. All replies are very much appreciated.

For those type of components you are only willing to spend 50-150 on an amp to push them? The clarion amp is good but for a budget setup... Look at some EP series hertz amps, MTX, kicker etc etc...
