help w/ amp for components

[dbellin19 10+ year member]

I know what your thinking "another dude asking WHAT AMP DO I NEED", I am sorry but in my defense I am not asking you to tell me what amp to get just help me make a more educated descision. With that said lets get down to buisness. I just bought some Diamond Audio Hex S600a and need to power them. My HU is going to be the Pioneer DEH-P940MP. (I bought the 8050 about 3-4 years ago and loved the thing) Now I am fairly new at this but have down fair amount of research but amps still confuse me alittle. So, do I need a 4ch or a 2ch. I don't have a sub setup yet due to funds. I probably wont for a couple of months but will eventually. I have stock components in the rear until I take them out when I get subs. So you are probably wondering budget. 200-300 max online or used. Please give me suggetions but also why you are suggesting ie price, 2ch is better, name brand, your selling it ect. I want to learn as I go through making my system. Nothing is more anoying than a rich kid with a system that doesn't know anything about it or appreciate it talking to a poor guy like me that does. Sorry for the long thread. I know you guys will help.

Ok, you managed to list amp company's. Thanks. What would be a cost effiectient amp and how much power do I really need. What is going to be the difference between a U.S. Acoustics 2100 100x2 RMS at 121.00 vs a ppi for 350? This amp is only for the mids and tweets so do I need a really expensive amp? Why can't I buy a 4 ch and bridge down to 2. It looks like it would be cheaper because I am going to buy a 200-400 watt amp just so I can have 100w at 4ohms. Maybe that is just how it is.
