I am planning on getting Infinity Perfect 6.1s for the front and need to get a new amp for the speakers. What would be my best bet for under $250?

I am currently considering the Profile CL640.

 

Usually, people say to go away from Crutchfield, but there is one thing that they have that are really good. USAcoustics amps. They are moderately priced (you can get a 4 channel for under 250) and they are high quality. The other thing that is good about them is they rate their power at 12v instead of 14.4 like everyone else does. What that means is that 50 watts for them is more in the range of 70 watts or so.

If you go on car audio forums, these amps rate fairly well considering how cheap they are. I would recommend getting one of these without a doubt. The difference between this amp and a super high quality amp like an ADS, Precision Power, etc. won't even be that noticeable.

 

Anyone have any opinions of the SoundStream Picasso line?

 

I have heard good things about SOundstream amps, but I personally do not like them. Don't ask me why, becuase I am really not sure...

I am just getting this up top so maybe we will hear some other opinions.

 

I have good experience with Alpine..

But I have the 5ch. one, MRV-450.

You can find them on eBAY.

 

yeah check out ebay for the best price. I got a 5 ch mtx amp for under 200 (retails for 400).

 

I am doing the same thing. I am thinking of going with a phoenix gold T600.4. Not sure how it rates on the forums, but my friend has one and he claims it to be compeition quality. I just want nice sound. Anyway you can pick one of these up for $300.00 What are you doin' for a sub? I still haven't decided what to do.

 

I second the MTX amp recomendation.

Got the SoundStream. I will have to see how it does.
