Help choosing amplifier

[Ymer]

Hi,

This is my first post. I need help picking an amplifier because I don't really know how to find out the wattage needed by my equipment. :X

I already have an MBQuart PVI216 Component system (RMS Power Handling: 70 watts/Peak Power Handling: 140 watts) and Rockford Fosgate Punch P3D212 (power range: 100-500 watts RMS (250 watts per voice coil)/peak power handling: 1,000 watts) installed in my car. The amp is missing.

What should I look for? I don't have much money to spend. How many watts are needed to run a 70w component system and how many for the sub?

A friend offered me a Rockford Fosgate 4600x. Will it be enough? It does 90wx4@4 and 150 if bridged.

Thanks a lot in advance!

I personally would go with a mb quart dsc4125 They are great budget power house amps and mostly everyone has had great success with them. The rockford you named is also a good amp and would be a viable choice.

this do rated? my 75w RMS 4-channel is almost enough but not quite there... i know a 66% increase in wattage isn't much but for $170 it might be worth it, no?

look at the old school phoenix gold ti500.4 it is by far one of the best sq amps ever made and it will also do 150x2 for subs but sound alot better
