Which amp is best,newbee. RE+Rainbow

[gotdale?]

Hello I’m not sure if I’m better off running 2 amps or just one? In my set up I’ll have 2 6x9 SL Rainbows rated at 140watts, 2 SL130 5-1/4 rated at 100watts and also a 06 RE XXX 12” rated at, well I’m not really sure because I have ran across different ratings.

My head unit is a Kenwood x689 rated at 50x4watts. If you guys could recommend 2 or 3 different amps that would work for me that would be great.

I’m new at this so please bear with me, any other tips would be great.

From what I've heard the RE XXX's like about 2000 rms

good choice on equipment, with one post I'm curious how you ended up with re and rainbow

a budget would help, but powering that beast is going to cost you a bit

After just lurking around the forums it seems like people are really happy with both. So that is just what i have decided on. As for a budget I really dont have one but its not bottomless. I want whatever amp/amps will be the best for my combination.

92SC300 do you think this wont work out to be a good combination? I am really dead set on the rainbows but if you have any other better recommendations for a better sub I am open to it. I am looking for a set up that will sound excellent and still be nice and clear when i turn it up.
