ok this is my actual set up

in front I have a comp set focal access 165a1 50rms and in the rear 2 6x9 eclipse PS6900 80rms

they are running direct from my HU, a pioneer 3300 with 20rmsx4 but looking for more power to feed those speakers

my budget is $100-$140 top

my car is a compact car (Honda fit), so size and battery saving is important

these are some of the options I have look so far, which one would give more clear sound with my ficals? or if you have another option feel free to post it.

CADENCE F600-4 1400 WATT 4-CHANNEL $140

RMS Power Handling:

4 Ohm: 125 watts x 4 channel

2 Ohm: 175 watts x 4 channel

4 Ohm Bridged: 350 watts x 2 channel

ALPINE MRP-F300 4 CHANNEL $140

RMS Power Ratings

* Per channel into 4 Ohms: (@ 14.4V ÆÂ‡%THD+N, 20Hz - 20kHz) 50W x 4

* Per channel into 2 Ohms: (@ 14.4V ÆÂ‡%THD+N, 20Hz - 20kHz) 75W x 4

* Bridged 4 Ohms: (@ 14.4V ÆÂ‡%THD+N, 20Hz - 20kHz) 150W x 2

F400-4 CADENCE 4-CHANNEL AMP $110

RMS Power Handling:

4 Ohm: 75 watts x 4 channel

2 Ohm: 125 watts x 4 channel

4 Ohm Bridged: 250 watts x 2 channel

MB QUART ONX4.60 4-CHANNEL $100

RMS Wattage at 4 Ohm x 4 Channel: 60

Peak Wattage at 2 Ohm x 4 Channel: 240

SOUNDSTREAM LIL WONDER LW4.480 WATT 4/2 CHANNEL AMP $120

120 Watt x 4 Channel @ 2 Ohm RMS

60 Watt x 4 Channel @ 4 Ohm RMS

240 Watt x 2 @ 4 Ohm Bridged

Polk Audio PA660 600W 4 Ch $130

75 Watts x 4 continuous, 85 x 4 dynamic power (2 Ohm load), 4 channel mode.

150 Watts x 2 (4 ohm) continuous power, 2 channel mode.

maybe in the near future I change my 6x9 for a 10" sub.

thanks in advance

 
If you care about space use and electrical efficiency, you can skip the Class A/B amplifiers right of bat. Look into Class D amplifiers, my favorite being Alpine PDX and Kenwood XR-4S, but there are some other good ones too. I don't know why people list a long list of features they like... power, size, quality, etc, then drop the budget number... $150 tops! Let me tell you that you usually get what you pay for. I strongly believe in that. If you want something closer to your budget, Alpine MRX-F30 perhaps could work. It's just, it has less power output than the above, but still plenty for most speakers.
