Good 4 Channel Amp

Looking to just power my front Boston 4x6's (80 watt max) and my rear Kenwood 6x9's (170 watt max) Any suggs for crystal clear sound? Would I look for something in the 70x4 range? Thanks

are you sure you want a 4 channel? I have 4x6 Polk dash speakers running of my deck and 61/2 inch door speakers with 100x2 amp. Also 2 10 inch subs in the back with another 800 watts. Now mind you this is in an xtended cab truck but it sounds awesome. I just think you would have a hard time balancing out the sound cause the speakers have diff power points and giving all 4 the same power would cause sound problems. just my thoughts don't start shooting.

you have a point, and thats one way of doing it, but the difference in quality of an aftermarket ampped speaker and a built-in amped speaker is like night and day - even through a 4x6... besides you can favor the power to the rear speakers.

except you would want most of your sound coming from the front speakers for a better soundstage thats why a lot of people dont run any rear fill

you can make it so only highs come out of your fronts and then mids to bass come out of the rear

thats the nice thing about my truck all 4 speakers are in the front. Of course i lose some bass cause of the small space, but sound quality is awesome.

I like my JL Audio 300/4. 75wx4
It works great and the sound is awesome through the JL XR and VR series speakers.
It is a little on the expensive side though.
