Budget stereo build need help matching amp

Recommended Posts

I have a 2003 Elite V that I’m upgrading the stereo. For tower speakers I’m going with the Kicker KMT67. Looking for advice with what amp to get to get the most out of these tower speakers. I’m looking for a two channel 600 W RMS. I don’t know what company to trust. Any advice or direction would be greatly appreciated. maybe  It would be easier to go with a four channel And bridge it.  Or can i get a single channel 600 w amp and wire for two pods?

To truly get the most, the Kicker KXMA1200.2 would be the top choice. It will deliver up to 300W rms x 2 @ 4 ohm. This well above each pod's 150W RMS, but it equals a ton of head room. Your gains are going to be super low, so the amp runs real conservative, which yields better sound quality overall. 

While a bridged 4 chnl will typically give you more wattage p/$$$, these multi-driver pods are known to dip well below their rate 4 ohm nominal impedance. This can put some bridged 4 chnls into protect mode intermittently.
