What kind of amp would I need for these speakers to run optimally?

What specs for an amp to run speakers (described below)?

  • I need to find out what kind of amp specifications to I need to run four 300W(100W RMS) 2-way 4ohms impedance 65-29k freq response (Alpine SPR-60 is the model) It needs to be 4 channel with even power and not underpower or blow the speakers. It's going to a typical 50Wx4 deck if that makes any difference. All I need to know is what I can work with, like if 80W RMS @4ohm / 120W RMS @2ohm(stable) will blow the speakers if I put it down to 2 or should I get something with a full 1200W peak (400W RMS) 4 ohm, or whatever. I'm just not sure how to go about powering the speakers as far as an amp goes because I figure it doesn't just line up evenly like 300W speaker per 300W amp channel. Thanks in advance!

    This amplifier here will suit your needs: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_27474_MB-Quart-ONX4.125.html. as far as your ohm load question...you could get a 2 channel amp that will do 200 rms x 2 channels @ 2 ohms, then hook two speakers up to 1 channel and the other two up to the other channel. If you keep them at 4 ohms, you're going to want to stay above 100 rms per speaker. This will ensure the speakers get their full power that they can handle.
