advice: 2 channel amp

Hello,

My current 2 channel amp just died on me and I am looking for a new amp with a little more power. My old amp was 100 W RMS x2 @ 4ohms. I am currently running a cdt ef-61 component set which has a rating of 120W RMS.

I am looking for an amp that has somewhere around 150W RMS x2 @ 4ohms. Anyone know any good brands or models that I should look at? Thanks!

I looked online for that amp...it ony has 50w rms x 2 .... I'm looking for 150w rms x2 (or close to that).

How are kenwood amps? Are they any good? Do they actually provide the wattage that they say they do? I saw the
Kenwood KAC-7252 which is 170 W RMS x2. Is that any good?

Or what about the JL Audio 300/2 amp?

slick will become famous soon enoughslick will become famous soon enough
JL Slash amps are very good amplifiers, solid performers, clean output.
An alternative choice (which doesn't matter since you already bought an amp) would have been the JL e4300 4 channel amp, bridge that for 150x2, its a nice, budget alternative to the 300/2.
