Is this a big mistake waiting to happen?

I recently ordered polk mm6501's to replace my db6501 component speakers. I will be needing an amp for these. Will those silly lanzar vct 800 watt ones suffice? I understand lanzar is very overrated and produce much less, but is it a bad idea to aim high to shoot low? 400 watts per speaker?

Don't flame me for this one, it is only temporary...

I have a 12" kicker l7 in the back, My rockford went out a while ago, so i've been using the lanzar vct 1000 watts to power it, and its actually been running pretty beautifully, for the time being that is. Maybe they got a little heart to them?

Otherwise, how about this one?

Basically i'm not trying to spend more than 60$

I would say just run it with the headunit until you have more money to buy something better.

X2 You will be far happier with the outcome.

Ok but I can get the kenwood from a friend for free. Should I at least hook it up? better than nothing right?

it depends on which Kenwood...some of the older ones are quality amps most newer Kenwoods are nothing but crap at least in their lower series...Kenwood was putting heavy steel plates in sone of their amps to make it seem like you were getting a quality piece because it was such a piece of crap

I have a link to the kenwood. The components are 2.7 ohms. will that work with the amp? what wiring kit should i get?

the kenwood would be a little better than running off the head unit, about 66 x 2 at 2.7 ohms rms
