right now im looking at the lanzar opti700x2. rated at 950w rms x2 @ 2 ohm, which will be perfect for my mids. are there any other huge (in close in price range as the lanzar) amps that i can consider? i just sold my crescendo 4ch, becuase while it was a great amp, wasn't enough power @ 2 ohm for me.

i wanna be sure i want the lanzar's (need multiples of them) before i buy then regret. sorta skeptical, but i do hear good things about the opti line, although i hear the older OPTI's are better than the new stuff thats out.

 
I don't know how close in price to the OPTI , but the DD C6b is very nice , I think it's around 1400 wrms bridged 4 ohm and 1 ohm stereo stable.

 
this is for my HHR. the mini, i have all the mids and tweets (20 selenium 6s, 16 bullet tweets, and 4 10" selenium mids) but no power yet. i have even yet to remake my new door panels for them.

but for the HHR, pretty similar, just a ton of mids. one 10, two 8s, and 2 ST200 bullets in the front doors, a 6" in each A pillar, one 8, two 6s, and one bullet in each rear door. 4 bullets and 4 12s in the back wall firing at me, and 8 horns. lol

so each of the speakers that can take it (the eminence 8s 10s and 12s) get get powered by the lanzar 700x2 i just ordered (supposedly rated at 950x2 @ 2 ohm) so 237w per mid. IF i like the lanzar, ill order a matching opti, but smaller, to power the tweets and 6s which cant take 237w each.

this is the start of my rear doors. i wanna glass these and get them wrapped before i start the fronts, that way ill at least have music while im making the fronts. the 8" in each rear doors is an eminence beta 8cx, it has a 1" threaded hole on the back of the speaker where i hook a horn into, and it makes it like triple as loud as just the eminence by itself lol.
