i need a amp
you guys seem to know your ICE. i'm thinking of selling my 12's and just getting a amp to power the 4 in car speakers. here are the specs on my speakers if you need them..
front door speakers are pioneer 3 ways
3/8" PET silver film dome tweeter
1-5/8" balanced dome PPC (Pearl PolyCarbon) midrange
Aramid fiber reinforced IMPP woofer with durable rubber surround
frequency response 30-28,000 Hz
recommended power range 2-35 watts RMS
peak power handling 180 watts
sensitivity 90 dB
the rear speakers are Kicker 2 ways
titanium-coated curvilinear injection-molded polygraphite cone
treated polyester foam surround
1" titanium dome tweeter
frequency response 30-21,000 Hz
power range 6-90 watts RMS
peak power handling 180 watts
sensitivity 90 dB
what amp would be a good one to power these? if needed i can buy new speakers with the $$ i get for my subs and amp. i was thinking of getting new 6x9's anyways, any ideas on what i should get?

i say if your going to get rid of your subs, get some better mid and highs.
check out cdt, diamond audio, focals, boston acoustic, inifinity, mb quarts

Okay, I'll be a lil' more helpful.
Since your front speakers rms is only up to 35 watts, I suggest you get Rockford Fosgate Punch 301X. Your front speakers isn't as good as your rear.
If you're willing to change your front speakers components would be your best best in terms of sound quality, it seperates the mid-range and highs' but you may have to drill because it comes with tweeters. I'd recommend MBQuart DSC 216, they're pretty good and affordable, one of the best speakers of its price.
If you're not willing to drill, then I'd recommend Infinity KAPPA 63.5I for your front speakers of course. They myte be a little pricey but they are good speakers.
If your get those speakers and keep your rear the amp I'd recommend is Alpine MRV-F540 something cheaper and yet slightly less powerful, Alpine MRV-F340. If you styll think they're pricey then you can get Rockford Fosgate Punch 501X. Usually, Rockford is underrated. Say, they say they amp is 40 watts rms, really it's 65 watts rms, which is good. Hope this helps.
