What amp for these speakers?

[Shadow7874 10+ year member]

My parents bought me 2x pair of pioneer ts-d6802r 2x8 speakers.

What amp would be a good match? i believe the rms is 60w but the max is around 260. should i look for something around a 4x100? im not familiar with multichannel amps at all so any help is much appreciated.

If the rms is 60 should i try to match that exactly or can i go higher since its max is way higher?

Get a 4 channel that will do around 75 x 4 @ 4

What about a Pioneer GM 6300F?

RMS Power @ 4 ohm: 60W x 4

RMS Power Range : 240-300 Watts

Number Of Channels: 4

Maximum Power: 600 Watts

Also, how is pioneers quality? i have heard good reviews on the speakers but not on the amp im looking at.

Ok well i dont really know what brands i should be looking at, the only amp ive had is a kicker 750.1 so im not sure which brands to avoid and which to look into. any suggestions?

if i were to pick one of these RF ones which should i get?

Rockford Fosgate T400-4 Rockford Fosgate T400-4

400W 4-Channel Amplifier $275.00

Rockford Fosgate T600-4 Rockford Fosgate T600-4

600W 4 Channel Amplifier $399.00

the first one gives 60w rms @ 4 ohms x4

but the second will give me 100W @4x4

will the 60 be better since its what the speakers call for or will 100 work better since its higher yet still under the peak by far?

It would probably be a good idea to get an amp with a little more power than 60x4 rms. Head room is nice, you just have to adjust your gains accordingly.

are there any tutorials on how to tune an amp? im pretty sure i blew one of the coils on my sub, and ive already blown an old sub so learning how to tune would be a great idea.
