Recommend an Amp?

[Farkel 10+ year member]

I'm a complete n00b at this stuff so go slow... lol

Well currently I'm getting:

-Alpine SPX-177R (6-1/2) for front component ones

-Some whatever speakers for the 2 rear... only for fill sound

-Alpine CDA-9857 HU

-One 10" or 12" Sub

Now I just need to know what kind of amp I'm getting. My budget is tight, but I also want something that will produce crisp, rich, and GOOD sound //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif

Should I connect the 2 rear speakers to the amp as well? Or just leave them alone and just connect them to the HU?

Also, would 2 smaller sized Amps be a viable option (would be better for a subbox idea I have)? Thanks

Yes, you could just run the rears of the HU (or leave them out). If you want to stick to smaller amps you could go with the MRP-F250 and bridge it to 2 channels for the components. Then get a MRP-M450 for the sub.

Check Millionbuy.com for some nice prices. $280 for the two of them is not bad at all.
