Im looking for a 4 channel amp that will do 75-100 watts per channel at 2 ohms. Im looking at a Jl J2-320.4 for $115, and a JL A4300 for about the same. Im open to any suggestions, new or used. My budget goal is to keep it under $150, but if something really catches my attention, I might go up to 200 or maybe even a little more.

$229 shipped, but does 120x4@2ohms
good amplifier, and would pair well with the AQ1200D for subs.

Alpine, MTX, and Kicker are other decent options to look into.

yeah 120 watts is a bit excessive for what I need. otherwise Iwould definitely go with the AQ.

you might be surprised.
I use 250W x 2 on my front stage.

You can typically go around 50% over the rated continuous power handling of the speakers, since you won't see the full output of the amplifier anyway, with a music source, to a reactive load, with the volume below maximum.

true. but you said all i would need is 50-75w per channel. That JL A4300 makes 75w/ch and its only $125 so I think im gunna go with that for now. I might upgrade this summer when moneys not so much an issue. That amp should be good right?

The JL is fine, and will do great for you.

the JL is probably a better amp than the Infinity as far as quality of build.

Infinity kappa perfect component speakers are pretty good. Everything else is middle of the road to so-so.
