Amp recommendations?

I was considering getting an amp for my speakers. I have a set of Infinity Reference 6000cs up front (4 Ohm, 2-90W RMS) and Alpine SPS-690A in back (4 Ohm, 2-50W RMS). What brands would you recommend? Should I go with a 4-channel amp or 2 2-channel amp? Thanks in advance!

i prefer mtx amps for components and speakers, they are not to great for subs for the mtx thunder series is known for clarity, you should be able to find a good quality 4 channel for around 300 bucks.

Thanks for the replies! Unfortunately, it came a little late as I've already ended up buying.

I ended up going with an Alpine MRP-F240 (40W x 4 or 100W x 2, both @ 4 Ohm) from ikesound.com and a 4-channel amp wiring kit from Knu Konceptz. I'll use it as a 4 channel until I can get an MRP-T220 (50W x 2 @ 4 Ohm). Then I'll use the MRP-F240 for the fronts and the MRP-T220 for the rears. Not sure if that's the best use of money, but that's what I bought.

*starts waiting for amp and wiring kit to come in*
