[QUOTE="xoch1, post: 6980075, member: 625687"] Ok all, I’m sure you are sick of these “ help me pick the right amp” threads. Unfortunately I know almost nothing when it comes to car stereos. But here is what I got so far. I have a Kenwood Excelon KDC-X491 head unit. Pioneer Premier TS-A643P speakers for the doors. They are 6 ½ inch 4 ohm 50 watt rms 280 watt max. Rear speakers are 6 x 9 Alpine 4 ohm SPG-69C2 75 watt rms 300 watt max. I’m looking for a decent amp to run these. Nothing earth shattering. I’m not into competitions or anything like that. Already got subs for bass so I’m not worried about bass.
