Need help picking an amp for mids/highs

[CplCuddles]

Hey guys, I can figure out sub amp stuff, but I'm terrible at mids/highs. I'm getting 4 PWX 6.5" Midrange Speaker - Crescendo Audio Factory Direct Online Store and 2? (I don't think I need 4) FT1 Black Series - Crescendo Audio Factory Direct Online Store. I'm not sure what amplifier to get with them. They both come in 4 and 8 ohm configs. The FT1s are 80w rms and the PWXs are 150w rms. If I could be taught how to figure it out myself that would be totally cool as well.

I'm sure a good 100x4 would do but it wouldn't hurt to go with more power. exactly how much do you want to spend?

It just kind of depends I guess, I'm willing to break a budget for something that is worth it. I'd prefer not to break the bank though. I would like to have something of higher build quality tbh.

I really like zapco arc and mmats.

This amp is pretty **** nice and it's price is stright up dirt cheap. I'd cut someone for one.. seriously.

I would look around for a solid used amp from a reputable brand or a budget new amp that gives you close to the power you need. The ppi 900.4 is/was a favorite budget amp among some people when buying new. What are your goals?

DC-1004 - Zapco 4-Channel Class A/B Full Range Amplifier

**** me, $600 for a mids/highs amp? Honestly the more I think about it like ~$300 is more of what I'm looking for. I am planning on getting my sub right after I get my mids/highs setup.

My current goal to get my mids/highs setup then get my sub/amp. I am getting a 12" Sundown Zv4 Rev2 with some budget amp (something like taramps HD3000.) I plan on getting a better amp, something around 3500w, but at a later time.

Ok, thats good, but the problem is I don't fully understand how power much it should have. I figured it should be 4ch amp, but since the tweets are 80w and the mids are 150w. How do you wire that **** up?

You really need a 6 channel or a 4 channel and a 2 channel. Most 4 channel won't be optimum with what you're wanting to do.

I see tons of you guys run what I'm wanting to do with 4ch amps though?

Good quatitly amps cost. You can get a decent one for 300. Like the two I listed. They 120x2.. one per set of speakers..

What about something like the Cresendo C1100.4?
