What amp for a pair of 6.5 JL XRs

[ryanbssc29 10+ year member]

I'm thinking of getting a set of JL XR comps for my front and XR coaxs for my rear, as a christmas present. Before getting them I would like to have at least an idea of what amp to get. I thought about keeping it Jl and going wit the 450/4 but its high in price, as are most of their products. So what amp would you say instead of this one? I need 75wx4.

I have a 450/4 on some zr comps and xr coaxs and it is a perfect match. Expensive but worth it.

How about the alpine MRV-F345, is it any good?

If I were you I'd run the rear fill off the deck and run the comps with their own amp. You could go with a four channel like the 300/4 and bridge it to 2 channels for now, and if you decide to go active later you still have the option to run tweets and mids separately. Another amp that could do this well would be an Arc Audio 4150XXK.

I think you can get better speakers then the xr's for the money,, IMO

This is one of my pet peeves. It is easy to say "you could do better" but, other than the fact he was asking about amps and not speakers, it would be helpful it you added a recommendation with that statement.

By all means feel free to suggest other speakers, I have not ordered them yet. Its just that I didn't find it fitting to ask for speaker suggetions in the Amps section.
