What amp for these speakers?

[ryanbssc29 10+ year member]

I'm planing on getting one set of diamond d6 components: http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=2714 and one set of diamond d6 coax: http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=2716

What kind of amp would I need to power these? I would like to stay under 500 for the amp.

I would give them at least 100w rms per channel. Plenty of amps out there in your budget that will work well. Do you have any that you are interested in?

I was planning on getting the same comps. I'm planning on getting an orion 3002

75w x 2 @4

I have diamond subs on diamond amps and am well pleased with the amps so I wouldnt mind another diamond amp. I'm just trying to get some suggestions. Also I'm not sure that I understand how to wire these speakes. If they are dual 4 ohm what ohm amp do I need to run all 4 off the same amp?

ok then diamond is out as far as amps go b.c there 400w amp runs 100x2 @ 2ohms... So what would be another one?

kay you need an amp that puts out 100x4@4 ohms not 2

PG Xenon 100.4 comes to mind here.

PG, Zapco, Orion, Viper, PPI, Memphis, JL, US Amps, Rockford, all should have something that would work well. 75-100x4 should work.
