[QUOTE="jronnquist, post: 8826557, member: 687568"] Thanks for all the replies, guys! Much appreciated. The amp I ended up with is the Kenwood X302-4. Rated RMS power output: (4Ω, 14,4V) 50W x 4 (20Hz ~ 20000Hz, 1%THD). I've paired this with a set of Focal Auditor ASE 165 2-way components for the front doors and Focal Auditor ASE 130 2-way components for the rear. The plan was to simply match the RMS numbers for amp and drivers, but the 165s are actually rated at 60W RMS, not 50W like the 130s (something I missed when I bought them and only noticed about 5 minutes ago). I hope this isn't going to be a problem. [/QUOTE]
