which amp between these two?

Ok, I'm looking for a good 2 channel amp to power some infinity components cause I'm redoing my setup. I'm looking at either a Crunch P280 amp or the Alpine MRP-T130 amp. The Crunch is 80wattsx2 and the alpine is 50wattsx2. Infinity recommends 75watts rms for the 605cs speakers. Which amp should I get between those two? I can get the alpine for about $70 bucks at a local place so thats why I'm not sure. Thanks!

WhiteRabbit is a glorious beacon of light

not only will that alpine amp outperform the crunch, but at $70, its a fantastic deal! speaking from a general price point of view that is.....

So will it drive the infinity's ok at only 50 watts RMS? Or is there a better amp I should get for around 60-150 to drive the infinity's?

The 50 watts will drive your speakers. No worries there. You just don't want to be powering your speakers off your HU amp. If you feel like that's not enough, get the Crunch amp. Though I agree with WhiteRabbit, the Alpine is a superior performing amp and at $70, I would jump on that deal.
