speaker/amp match. polk / crescendo?

I'm looking for a temporary setup in my current car.

The Polk Audio MM6501's are rated at 125w RMS, but they have impedance of 2.7Ω. The Crescendo 10004 is rated at 125w @ 4 and 250w @ 2. So they would be seeing ~185 watts RMS, correct? Would this be a good match for the speakers?

Total cost: $440

My alternative is JBL c608's (rated 150w), powered by a refurb Soundstream trx2.820 (250w @ 4 ohms). Total cost: $380

forgot to mention... also looking at the Hifonics zxi140.4 for the Polks as well. costs 20% more, but also provides 20% more output.

And I plan on giving the speakers up to their rated power
