I'm getting boston sx60's component speakers put in my car and i'm searching for the right amp for them. They are rated at 65 W RMS.

I've been looking at the Alpine F300 and the Alpine KTP-445

http://www.crutchfield.com/p_500KTP445/Alp...ack.html?tp=115

Will these do a good job pushing my front and rear speakers? I don't blast my music ever, i'm going for crystal clear sound. Also will a 65+ RMS amp make a considerable sound quality difference over these 45 and 50 RMS amps or just allow me to make ears bleed?

Any alternatives if these won't do?

i use a site ikesound.com, they're really good I've boughten stuff from them and they're really dependable and good customer service too. The more RMS you have the more clear your speakers are gonna sound when you turn them up louder. With 65RMS speakers you want to get within 10RMS of them. http://ikesound.com/hifonics_txi4406 This is the brand of amps I use, they're a little power hungry but they're really great amps that are very dependable and they have neat features like safety shutoff, like once water leaked in my trunk and got my amp wet it automatically shut off so not to damage itself it was neat just needed to dry it off and it was fine. Also they're cheaper than most other amps out there, most companys like alpine and JBL use their name to advertise because they're well known and everyone wants well known brands to show off, Hifonics has always been just as good as them but a little underground. Anyone who knows about car audio knows about Hifonics. Reason being noone uses them is because they're aren't well known. If you don't care about telling your friends about what you got pushing your speakers than consider this amp it's worth it.


Great answer! Now stop reading my mind please! biggrin.gif
Hifonics and Crunch are both powered by Maxxsonics (together with MBQuart), they are practically the same but they look different. If I wasn't a GZ fan right now, I'd use Hifonics all the way.
