    Default what amp would ya recommend..?

    I am having a hard time deciding what amp I should get...
    I've got 2 JBL 3.5" 75watt in the front and 2 Pioneer 6x9 200watt in the back... I'd like some people's general opinions on what amp I should buy. I am not looking for something too expensive because I won't have the "bird" for tooo tooo long.. (I was planning on getting an Acura RSX type-s hehe) but thats a long time down the road.............................

    Yeah... Anyway I was just in need of some user opinions, so leave em' please?! thanks

    BTW: I have the stock radio in it and I am keeping it that way... I am not doing much to this one, just an everyday driver...

    ..let me know..

    yeah... I know I need line level inputs, thanks. Since there are no RCA's .... I was looking towards alpine.

    Thanks!

    The Alpine MRP-F420 would probably work fine for you

    Yeah IMO you can't go wrong with Alpine, I've had tons of Alpine Equipment over the years & have no complaints

    Yay... Just purchased the ///Alpine MRP-F240 off of ebay. (Retail=$200 US Ebay=$125 US) good deals... Love em'... It's new and never opened, should be here soon.
    I also bought an amp wiring kit from http://www.crutchfield.com ($20 US)

    Now.. Yet another question. Where do you recommend I put this amp in a 1992 Pontiac Sunbird LE? I was thinking trunk or under passenger's seat. I was aiming more toward under passenger's seat.. I was going maybe put Velcro on the bottom of the amp and on the floor so it will stay in place. (i have heard it is not good to drill through the floor and I just don't want that complication..)

    What do you think?

    Sweet good purchase

    I've drilled through the floor before with no problems, if you have flip down seats you can mount it on the back of the seat

    If I was going to put it under the passenger's seat, how can I conceal the wires?

    Cut a small hole in the carpet & run you wires through the hole & under the carpet.
