I am looking at buying some 6.5 Kicker 11KS60 speakers. I am going to get 4 of them for the front and back. They have a 130 RMS rating and are 4 ohms. What type of amp should I buy and how do I match speakers with an amp. Thank you!

Also the amp that I am looking at right now is the Pioneer GM-D9500F . Is this a good choice as an amp

Hello montgomery, those Kicker speakers you posted are 65 Watts RMS each at 4 Ohms (130 Watts RMS a pair).

As far as an amplifier goes, that Pioneer amplifier appears from the specs that it would be able to power your speakers just fine, however I just simply don't trust Pioneer amplifiers. Love their Speakers and Head Units though. I would suggest looking into the Kicker IX500.4 or the Kicker ZX350.4. The IX500.4 puts out a little more power than the 350.4, but is a little more pricey. Either way, both of these amplifiers should get the job done.
