Please help!!!! Need help choosing amp

[alamber4]

Hey everybody, I am new to car audio. I am looking for some advise on what amp I should get. I want a 4 channel amp that can power my four speakers. My front speakers are sony 4-way 250 watts max, 65 watts RMS, and my back speakers are sony 4-way 400 watts max, and 100 watts RMS. My head unit is a JVC. I am looking for one amp that will power my 4 speakers. I am looking for an amp that blocks the bass from my front speakers. I only want my back speakers to handle the bass. I would appreciate any suggestions about which amp I should get. Also, I am looking to stay under $200. Thanks, appreciate it.

Looka t the refurbs from profile on thier website- stupid low prices and they are quality amps at budget prices. http://www.profilecaraudio.com/amplifiers.htm

The 440sx would be a good match for those speakers, and the CA640 would be better if it was in stock, or for $100 you could get 2 ca400's and set the crossovers differently. I think these are the amps for you man.

Thanks a lot man, is there a particular one that you would recommend?

I'd do the CA400's (2 of them) as they look nicer than the 440sx , though ask if they have a ca640 when you call, that would be the best as it simplifies wiring (4-channel vs. 2-channel) If you want to spend a bit more and get all the amp you will ever need, Xtant has refurbished 403a's for $200 on thier website. This is the amp I am using and it kicks major ***. It is a 3 channel (front speakers and a sub) but can also be run as a 5 channel with some jumpers Xtant will send you if you ask. This amp retailed for $800 5 years ago- back before all the engineers bailed and went to JL to make the slash series amps and xtant went to crap. Check it at : http://www.xtant.com/direct/details.cfm?PN=403AR More expensive than the profiles, and likely overkill for your current speakers, but when you get some badass components and a sub you will have all the amp you need- I think it is worth the extra $$$- I'm probably going to buy another one just to keep as a spare, or for my wife's Element......
