Alpine PDX 4.150

I just hooked mine up and I love it. Small footprint too.

Alpine MRV-F545 would be a good choice too! AB class amplifier with 125Wx4 @ 4ohms.

Sundown 100.4 will undoubtedly be suggested so let's get that out of the way...

Diamond D6600.4, perhaps?

There are many good options available in that budget range...have a look around! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/thumbsup.gif.3287b36ca96645a13a43aff531f37f02.gif

Unrelated noob question, but what gauge speaker wire should I use? 16 gauge?

16 gauge will do fine

I think that I like the Alpine PDX 4.150 the most so far, and all the reviews I've read said that even though it's class D it doesn't have 'dirty' power... and it's small and runs cool so I can easily put it under my passenger seat //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

you might also look into something like the Orion 2004. i had a 2002 (2 channel) and it did really good.
