Decided to try buying a new amp instead of a used one HOWEVER, I am not sure on what kind of amp to buy. I'm assuming I'll need a 4 channel amplifier. I'm not good with the whole RMS rating and ohms thing

Can someone recommend me an amp that can power this up?

Budget is on the $100 range so nothing too crazy!!


Pioneer TS-A1604C

6-1/2" A Series 2-Way Car Component System
Power Handling:
Peak: 700 watts per pair / 350 watts each side
RMS: 100 watts per pair / 50 watts each side
Sensitivity 90 dB
Frequency Response 29 - 29,000 Hz
Impedance (per voice coil) 4 ohms

EDIT: OKAY so apparently I do need a 4 channel amplifier and not just a 2 channel amplifier.

This is plenty and is in your price range. http://cgi.ebay.com/KICKER-ZX100-2-2-CHANNEL-AMPLIFIER-100W-CAR-STEREO-AMP-/230610019573?pt=Car_Amplifiers&hash=item35b16da4f5#ht_1683wt_1141

Or this one, have it powering my front speakers and is mounted under the passenger seat. Works like a charm and good sound quality too.

we could not tell you if the tweeters need power - it depends on what the requirements for them are. some could easily be powered off the head unit - other may need some extra power for an amp.

for just the two 6.5's - i would probably get the

Personally, I'd take an older Kicker ZR over anything that they offer now...

I used to run two ZR 360's and a ZR 600 in one of my old cars. Fun amplifiers!

I ended up buying an old alpine model from my local audio store. They told me they needed to get this thing out of their store so they sold it to me for $40 brand new (what a steal)!!

thanks for all the help you guys!!
