Need amplifier suggestions

I just installed 4 MM651um 6.5" speakers on the tower of my nautique wakeboard boat. They are currently running parallel (2 ea) off of an old 120W amp that needs to be replaced. I'm unfamilar with the 2 ohm set up and currently confused about what size amp I need to go with. Can anyone help? Thanks, Anthony

Is the Polk PA 500.4 Amp a good setup? Would I bridge the 2 channels and get enough power for the speakers?

What are the power handling specs on the speakers? You simply need an amp that is 2 Ohm stable (per channel) and that has an RMS power rating that is a little higher than the RMS power rating of the speakers.
RMS (root mean square) simply means what is the maximum continuous power that the speakers can be driven at.
Try the PA250
I am assuming that this amp would be more than enough. Hope this helps
