Which amp for a set of components?

[mystikarkitect 10+ year member]

Hey all, I tried searching but couldn't really find an answer I was looking for. I'm looking to upgrade the components in my truck to Crystal SSCS 6.5's and am looking for an amp to run them. Does anyone have any amp recommendations for this set? I heard these suckers like power. Thanks.

hundreds off possibilities. anything to narrow it down would be helpful since the number of 2-channel amps is overwhelming. first lets start with a budget and how much power you want

I was thinking 100-200 for a budget. Was looking at some Zapco amps but they seem a little expensive. Would these components run at 4 Ohms or 2 Ohms? I know theyre 4 ohm SVC so I'm not sure if they would make the amp run in 4 ohm or 2 Ohm mode. Thanks again.

And you could bridge a four channel, so there are lots of options.

get an amp that does 150 at 4ohms for at least two channels.

Alright so I can get a 2 Channel that does 150-200 RMS (is 200w too much for these?) at 4 Ohms, or a 4 Channel that does the same bridged. Now for some companies and amps. I've been out of the game for a while, (my sub amp is a JBL BP1200.1). Last time I remember the US Acoustics, JBL and Lanzar were all good brands for amps. Any popular choices I should be looking at to fit my category?

If you don't mind eBay you could get a JBL GTO75.4 for $176 shipped. They are nice amps and ~180wattsX2 would be plenty for your application.
