New member Username: FordzillaPost Number: 1 Registered: Apr-09 | I need an amp to power 2 Polk 5x7 speakers. They need 60 watts each @ 4 ohms. The two amps I'm considering are the Orion CO600.s and the MB Quart PAB2100. Both can put out 100w x2 @ 4 Ohms. Which would give me the best sound quality? |

I notice that amp has a Signal-to-Noise ratio of 95 dB, which is the same as the MB Quart PAB 2100. That would suggest they both have about equal sound quality. I was just wondering why you prefer Kicker. |

New member Username: FordzillaPost Number: 7 Registered: Apr-09 | Thanks for the input M.S. Do you have any suggestions for a relatively cheap amp that will give me decent sound quality? I'm looking to get one for about $100 on eBay. I need 60w x2 @ 4 ohms, so I'm aiming for an amp rated for about 80-100W x2 @ 4 ohms. |

New member Username: FordzillaPost Number: 8 Registered: Apr-09 | Thanks for the list, that's just what I was looking for. I ended up getting an Infinity Reference 475A instead. It's rated for 75W x 4 @ 4 Ohms. The Signal-to-Noise ratio is 85 dB so I'm hoping it will have some good sound quality. |
