help on picking amp.

ok, a couple months ago i made the mistake of replacing my pioneer hu with the eclipse cd5000. not a bad deck by any means, sound quality is amazing, that's the problem though. i didn't realize how much of a difference a hu alone can make. now i feel the need to upgrade my whole system. so i ordered cdt 61a-pro's, a set for the front, and a set for the rear from woofersetc.com. and i believe they are 150 watts rms, correct me if i'm wrong. i've been looking around for an amp to buy, not too many put out 150 watts rms x4 @ 4 ohms. so i was hoping you guys had some ideas of amp choices? i've heard you should never spend more on an amp then you spend on your comps. but through experience i know good amps aren't cheap. well i'll stop rambling, any help is really appreciated.

I still miss my 8455, I am going to stab the guy in the neck that stole it...not really, but I will seriously hurt him anyway.

Most SQ guys find rear fill distracting, but if you have your heart set on using them there aren't a ton of options. The Kicker ZX850.4, and the Alpine PDX-4.150 are the only ones that comes to mind. The JBL PX300.4 and a few others come close.

Good call. (As long as you have room.)

well my buddy who is really into car audio actually got mad at me when i told him i was thinking about leaving the rear empty. then again he's got $1300 in focals. i've been looking at kicker i know they have great amps, expensive though. i've never had any experience with pg before but that seems like my best bet, trunk space is not an issue for me. thanks for the help, now i have a couple more choices to look into.
