What amp for my mids and Highs?

[bwalk037]

First off, I have two JL 12w6 (first version NOT the 12w6v2) hooked up to a JBL 1200.1 amp in a ported box. HELL YEAH!. And Now I need an amp for my mids and highs.

I have a pair of INFINITY 6X9 692.5 KAPPA (2 WAY) and also Infinity 6-1/2" Two-way Component Speaker System (6000cs). So what amp would you recommend for them? I was thinking either the MTX 404 or 6304.

Good idea, but I hear that the Kappa speakers don't sound as good as say their Reference series when powered with only HU power. At the same time, you don't want to take away from the front soundstage.

I am only looking to spend no more then 200 bucks. "At the same time, you don't want to take away from the front" If I got a four channel amp would it take away from the front speakers still. Also on my back 6x9 speakers they come with crossovers and the instrutions say to only hook them into an amp not straight to the head unit or they could be damaged.

if you get a 4 channel amp, just turn the gain down a little on the rear channels, or fade the sound to the front more, so your front is more powerful than the rear. i think the reason they say not to hook them up to the HU is because you get so low power from the HU, and most people turn it up into a very high clipping range.

That seems like it would work, But which amp should I get for them? I was thinking the MTX 404 or 6304.

What brand is your HU?
I would recommend a US Acoustics amp. If you don't want to SHOW it, you can always mount it under a seat. I have the USP200 (2x65W) and I like it. They also have a 4 channel version. Those are cheap and are good, so if you wanna save some money - go for it.

Here's the amp:

My head unit is the one and only ALPINE 7893, and I like what see on that amp. I will check around and ask some peps and read some reviews over it and then decide. Thanks
