I can't decide what to do for powering Infinity Perfect 6.1 speakers. I am installing two sets into my 97 Mazda 626. Right now I have a Kenwood KAC-7201 amp, which can put out about 150 RMS, which will be enough to power the 100 RMS of the PERF 6.1s. I am either looking to buy another one of these Kenwood amps, or get rid of the one I have and I'm looking for a recommendation on either 2 2ch amps to replace it with in the range of 115-150 watts per channel @4 ohms, or if someone could recommend me a descent 4 CH amp that would get about that per channel at 4 ohms I would consider that also. Someone please recommend me an amp!!!, or do I just get another Kenwood like the one I have? Please consider cost into your recommendation, but understand that I am NOT a tight wad. Thanks. |

Even though its probably not best to run the speakers higher than 100RMS anyway? |

Gold Member Username: GlasswolfNorthWest, Michigan USA Post Number: 3347 Registered: Dec-03 | refurbished is fine and that amp will give the speakers all the power they're rated to accept. it'll get damned loud. set the high pass filters on the amp to about 150Hz for the components so they don't bottom out. |
