Recommend 2 channel Amp

I'm pretty sure the passive set is 4ohm

1. What is the big difference between the SE2150 and the KS 300.2 besides the extra 500?

2. On the Zapco - C2k vs Z150 - Any big differences

3. Gladen - looking at the specs... (Confused - will this work for passive crossovers or is this a mid-woofer amp only)

• Variable switchable Low Pass Filter from 50 to 300 Hz

• Variable switchable High Pass Filter from 25 to 175 Hz

1. build quality. top of the line arc.

2. build quality. top of the line zapco.

3. yes.

fwiw I probably would have went with a little nicer components. I prefer the sound of focals. Hertz make very nice components also. That being said if you haven't deadened ans sealed the doors these are going in that is going to make a huge difference. some alternatives to the amps I have listed which will be lighter on the wallet and allow you to spend the difference on sound deadener.

I deadened the doors.. The JBL's are still lacking on a SQ 90.4 running active, as expected from a cheap set. That being said I'm ditching them and going all in on a set of HAT Clarus C61 components. So sorry to have to ask again, but the HAT's will handle and expect a lot more RMS... The C2K seems to be overprices for the 100 watts it putting out. Gladen looks to be a good match.

Still have the same recommendations? or something different for the Clarus components?

no. your going to need to make rated power at 4ohms. you could use a 4 channel and bridge it or still go the 2 channel route either way you definitely want something quality. i run this to my focals overpowering them quite a bit but it is the best sounding front stage I have ever heard with really nice midbass. I don't know if you are opposed to buying used but you can save a ton of money that way and get a great deal.http://mosconi-system.it/product/one-240-2/

The Clarus components have good sensitivity for a set with woofers known to make powerful midbass. 90W RMS per channel is plenty for that set, although more power is a good thing. I would certainly not expect them to "want" more power when you already have a good amplifier.
