And heres the specs of actual output from the amp, does 200ish per channel at 4 ohm, so watch the gains and you would have headroom for days.

Nakamichi PA1004 or PA2002. You should be able to find them on ebay for $250. For $250 there are A LOT of great amps to run your ID's. I would take my time and do a lot of research before I purchased. If you wanted to go oldschool, you could get a PPI PC series or the old Orion HCCA's. You can find them on ebay, especially the HCCA's for under $200 and they are truley BAD *** amps. Ask any oldschooler around, they are great, solid amps.

I actually just bought an oldschool Orion 250 to run my ID's.

Here's a couple of links. Also, back in the old days their amps RMS power is very under-rated and was rated at 12volts not todays standard 14.4volts. Any of the oldschool Orion amps are great choices, but especially the HCCA, XTR,SX, and Xtreme series. My 250sx has THD of % .003, over 100db S/N ratio, 80db of channel seperation and 50x2 RMS at 12volts. Amps like that today would be VERY expensive.

Yeah thats it.. their pretty small amps actually i have 2 of them right now but only using 1

I would stay away from profile if your budget can allow it. Maybe look into ID's new amps, or something of higher quality. What is your budget?

Profile amps are not the junk you mistake them for,btw have you ever owned a Profile amp? I have and it was solid gave a good clean sound and it did it`s power rating@ 12.5 volts very heavy amp.

I have an Alpine MRV-F345 amp that I would sell you for $150 shipped. I am the original owner, and I have the box, manual and birthsheet. It birthed at 104w a channel (rated 75x4 @ 14.4v), but is only bridgeable on the rear channels. So you can run the front components off channels 1 and 2, then bridge the rears for 300x1 for a small sub. The only thing is I lost the screws for the top cover (if you look up pics you will see the brushed silver part that says "V12" on it). I personally thought it looked better without it and leaving it off made adjusting the amp a lot easier (the controls are hidden behind the panel). Alas, I still have the cover and I'd say the amp is 8/10 cosmetically and 10/10 functional. I'm sure you could get the screws from Alpine if you really wanted. Let me know via PM...

might want to look into buying a sundown 100.2 from the classifieds. they fall into the 180 range and will power those ids nicely. its actually the amp i am getting to run mine when i buy them.

Bridging a smaller 4 channel is the way to go if you're looking for good power for 2 channels...much more cost effective.

What about a Cadence TXA-3002, 3004, or 6004.

http://www.cadencestore.com/ProductCart/pc/viewCategories.asp?idCategory=125

Awesome prices and super clean power. Rated at 13.8volts too so maybe 175 or so at 14.4volts.
