Yah... Finding a 2-channel fo under 200 bones that puts that much power into 2 ohms might be difficult... I think you're better off going the 4-channel/bridged route.

Re: Amp for CDT comps

I want to run the comps at around 170W. I don't think 200 will be too much as long as I set my gains right. A little less (150) won't be too bad.
4channel amps I have been looking at:
MTX 3404
JL e4300
Soundstream XTA360.4
Orion 4004
Kicker KX350.4
Diamond Audio 3400.4

The profile HA 1000 puts 160x2 at 4ohms. It is like 90 bucks.
