memphis, alpine, JL, boston, focal, and mb quart all make good highs amps, if you want to stick with the same company just go with the alpine and you will be fine and get the ones with the power rating as groundscr8pr said

I'd get some over head, 85x4 to 125x4

finding an amp that does a true 125x4 will be very exspensive and most speakers arnt goung to handle that kind of power. you also need to remember mid and high speakers are very efficiant and need very little power to play loud. i always say the more power the better . but you also need to be carfull you arnt cooking vioce coils everytime you turn around.

125x4 isn't that far to find, many manu's are making those. rather see true clean power, that someone adding more gain to compensate, for lack of. that will burn coil faster than a clean signal.

i agree.. but ... 99.99999% of blown speakers are blown with too little power not too much.. and unless youre running a 90db or higher efficiency.. then efficient yes.. i wouldnt exactly call them "very" efficient..

Not knocking YOU its just a number HE should look into since most people totally neglect this super important number...

I like over rated amps with the gain turned down personally.. 125w on a 100w speaker is ideal imo

agree Mob, but clarify wording a little, they blow with too much distortion, aka clipping, not too little of power. People try to compensate with adding more gain, when power is lacking.
