so ive decided to go with the JL XR650's the 6.5" component set from JL to put in my front doors,

However i am completely lost in the realm of speaker amps.... i know some about sub amps ie, precision power, US amps, JL, Hifonics are all pretty good *orion as well*,

But i have no idea what a good amp for these components would be, i am pretty sure they are 75 watts rms, and since im paying 200 and a bit for the components i would really like to get an amp that will make the most of my speaker investment,

can anyone offer any sort of advice on what amp i should get? im assuming i need a 2 channel amp, therefore any good 2 channel amp would be amazing.


any recommendations?

nearly all current models of 2chan amps are either 2x50 or 2x100wrms @ 4ohms -

IMO : 2x50 clean watts from either JL/Zapco/Arc audio/Xtant/US made models of US amps should be sufficient since all these amps are underrated & work good .

www.woofersetc.com sells the JL,Zapco....

i ordered my xr650cxis and use the 450/4, how much were your components. did you get them from authorized JL dealer. talked to the Jl rep for our area last night, they will not and i mean not warranty any product bought off line. It is all tracked by serial numbers, even speakers. And must have invoice from authorized dealer.

I was looking at either the

Precision Power PPI DCX300.2

or the

Rockford Fosgate 301s

But im not sure which one is better for me....... for this application.....


the PPI will come out to being about 80-100usd more than the PPI..... any suggestions...
