Kappas and MTX amp...

I'm planning on getting the Infinity Kappa 60.2cs 6.5" components for the front and Infinity Kappa 692.5i 2 way 6x9 for the rear. I'm gonna power 'em up with a MTX 4 channel amp, the MTX 4244 model. Is this a good setup? I have a Pioneer DEH-7300 head unit and 2 12" MTX 6000 series subs powered by a MTX 4250d mono amp. Can anyone recommend any other 4 channel amps?

Oh yeah, does anyone have the new Pioneer DEH-8400MP head unit? Just wondering.

Sounds like a bad a$$ setup to me! I love the kappa components. If you're not worried about money, the MTX should be a great amp.

i have the 740MP and i played with the 8400MP at Best buy it was pretty cool and being set back a lil bit might not have any glare.....maybe. as far as sound they should be identical but the Mp3 function is Slow... it takes a few seconds to load which i understand and the more on the disk the longer. But the s h i t t y part is it takes like 5 seconds between tracks. So its VERY annoying if your lookin for a song. Not sure why they did this but it SUCKS!!!!!! i think the 8400 plays WMA files also though so that would make things a lil faster to burn your cds. but for regular cds and all other functions its GREAT. O yeah Except Pioneer is a smart player they give you lots of functions and then leave out RCA Inputs!!!! so then you have to buy the adapter for 50 bucks to run your PS2 or other dvd sources unles you buy THERE players......

You should move up to the MTX 6304 4 channel, mine puts out 75x4 rms at 4 ohms and 110x4 at 2 ohms according to the birthsheet.
