well
you could amp only the fronts
or
you could get a 4 channel

youd prolly want to look into the 50-75 watt per channel range...

that price range...MTX?? i dunno...power acoustics (spelling?) visonik is a fairly new brand, i've owned one before, till i redid my setup, they are good for your buck. Sony explod? >_< or lightning audio? Check out circuit city, they have cheap ones, then remember those models and search on ebay, u'll get em at least 100$ cheaper. ^_^ good luck

This is a MTX model from last year, but it is such a good deal for a good 4-channel amp:

MTX Audio Thunder6304

BTW, the amp's specs are Very underrated...very good bang for the buck if you are looking for a good inexpensive amp. Also, read the reviews on sounddomain for the pros and cons to this amp.

^looking into that one! looks like a killer deal but is it safe ordering from those people?

Sounddomain is IMO the safest place to order car audio on the internet besides Crutchfield. They are factory authorized to sell almost everything on their site, which is not the case for most car auido vendors online. I have ordered many times from Sounddomain, and have never had a bad experience...they also price match as well if you find a lower price...they have price matched against Ikesound prices for me a couple of times even though Ikesound is not an authorized dealer.

I would also look into other amps that they sell at Sounddomain, and just keep in mind that they will price match...you just have to send them in the request.

I can tell you what i think, but it is up to you. I had the lower end version of that amp and I loved it...the 4244, i believe...it is in my wifes car and she loves the sound she is getting since i replaced the kenwood amp that she used to have. IMO, the deal can't be beat...but a couple things to keep in mind:

-Do you mind having a model year 2002 amp (IMO that year's model looks better then the current models)?

-Do you really want a 4-channel amp? I personally would go for a two channel amp to power the front and leave the rears of the headunit...but this amp is such a good deal that i would maybe go for it and leave the gain on the rear speakers low.

-The amp is a good amp from a reputable brand...but if you are looking for top of the line, this amp is not it...but i don't see you getting a TOL amp with less the $250. I personally would not mind giving this amp a spin.

-I would do some research on the amp before you buy it...read reviews...ask people on here who have the amp (or had it)...make sure all of the specs fit your needs.

-The amp Will put out more power then the specs list...keep that in mind so you don't get to powerful of an amp.

I have an older Power Acoustik 4 channel amp (don't know model - I think it is rated at 50W RMS per channel) that is now in it's 3rd vehicle - originally installed in 1996 - and I'm quite happy with it. It's probably not as high quality of a component, but as far as bang for the buck I can't complain.
