Some Advice Please (Newbie)

[Trogdor]

I have a Jeep Wrangler and I wanted to upgrade the sound all around. I haven't installed anything yet but I have two sets of Polk DB 525's (45 RMS 4 ohm) and a Polk MM2084 (200 RMS 4 ohm). What I'm looking for are two amps to power these. 4 ch for the speakers and either a mono or 2 ch for the sub. I don't want to go spend too much as this is a Jeep and if worst case scenario occurs (equipment gets stolen) I won't be taking a huge hit. I'm in the market for decent amps on a budget, basically. (Willing to go used, refurb...)

I did alot of researching on amps (brands, ratings, ect.) as I'm new to all this. What I found that might match my needs is: 4 ch; Alpine MRP-250, MRP-f200,

MRP-f240. (I don't know the exact differences on those.) And for the Sub: Alpine; MRP-M450; MRP-M350.

I'm not partial to Alpine but they seem to have the ratings that match my setup. Also I've read that sticking to one amp manufacturer all around may be better. Any other suggestions that might work with the sub and speakers I have (brands/models)? Thanks in advance.

Are you being biased? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif (I do have a CDA-9856 HU)

Is one better than another? Just older models?

i am very partial to Alpine but i've been doing this car audio thing for more than 20 years. Quality equipment in mainstream audio is what makes a company last and Alpine is one of the oldest companies out. I think all of their amps are just solid pieces. Pick whichever one matches up the best to your RMS ratings
