which amps to use?

[sam_b03 10+ year member]

I am getting ready to install my PHD AF6.1 (100rms) and AF1,C tw (20rms).

I have alphasonic usa2150 (150rmsx2) It should be a prettty clean amp for the mids. with plenty of head room.

My real question is what to power the tweets with. The reviews on the tweets say the are the very sensitive so i want the cleaned signal I can get. My HU is an Eclipse 7200MKII so it is a dead head. I am also going active so using the crossovers from the HU.

Linear power 1002 (50x2) thd .150% S/N ratio >95db

Kicker impulse 352xi (50x2) thd .085%. I can't find the rest of the the specs. I have seen some reviews that this amp isn't as clean sounding as the numbers would make you think. I have no experience with this amp.

Zapco iforce 250 (75x2 rms) its a little much for my tweets. I would hate to blow $500 worth of tweets. I could power my mids just find with it. Being as this an entry level zapco I figured the alpha sonic would be better anyway.

Decided to use the kicker. It was DOA. So now on the hunt for a small clean amp. Don't really want to use the linear power. Using the the zapco on the mids.

I just happen to have an Alphasonik pma 2050e that looks and runs like new ....

This is what it is rated at; The number on the card is what it did at 12.6v on the test bench. The mono is supposed to be 1 x 160 ...idk why i wrote 80 there .....

2 x 50W @ 4 ohm

1 x 100W @ 4 or 8 ohm
