Hi everybody. I need some help/advice on what kind/brand of amp to get. I have a panasonic deck cq-dfx683, polk db525 in the front and db650 in the back, and a mm10 sub. I want to get an amp to push all 4 speakers and one for the sub. I've been looking at hifonic amps and phoenix gold, but i'm really not knowledgable on the any amp manufacturers. But if anyone can give me a rundown of what i can choose, i'm assuming 75wx4 at 4ohms for the speakers and an amp 500wx1 at 4ohms for the sub. Again just looking for some help. I don't want to be the loudest, i just want a nice tight sound and a little bump. My price range right now is $600-700. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!!!!

    off the top of my head, i'd say a 300.2 bridged to run the sub, and the 400.4 for the rest. but, this seems to be out of your price range.

    unfortunately, i don't know amp brands as well as i should, so you'll have to wait for someone else :(

    Eclipse makes a very nice amp and a very good sounding one as well. With good specs too. 105 db SNR and .004% THD!

    This 4-channel puts out 85 rms per channel which will be plenty.

    This 2-channel puts out 130x2 or 400x1 which will be good for your sub.

    Together they come up to $700 but you could probably find them a little cheaper elsewhere on the internet.

    Of course there are other brands like Orion, Xtant, JL Audio (bite me Cody ;)) Kicker and Phoenix Gold, but these Eclipse will give you great sound quality and good power for your budget.

    i'll take all of the above, excepting traveler's checks. i personally prefer money orders, but it's all good.

    why is it that businesses hate travelers checks??
