Something in the neighborhood of 50W X 4 should be OK.

Thanks! So something like the rockford 4 channel 250 watt? Rockford Fosgate R250X4 Prime Series 4-channel car amplifier — 40 watts RMS x 4 at Crutchfield.com

I haven't touched an entry level RF product since the "Series 1" of the early 90's. It was junk and put a bad taste in my mouth about low end Rockford, so I won't comment on that particular amp. Otherwise that's the sort of thing you should be looking for. ideally buy from a big retail store that has a good return/exchange policy in case it doesn't live up to expectations.

I run their 1200 Watt Prime series and I love it. Lots better for the money, but its not a bad amp at all, or atleast the monoblocks

rockford usually has some solid amps. never ran them but ive known several that have.

if you dont mind spending some money, the new IA 3.4s are great amps as well. fully active capable
