Need some help with choosing an amp. I recently had my Kenwood DDX-7017 installed and had to wait off on installing my mids due to that fact that they are 2 ohm mids.

Any ideas on what to power these speakers with?

I have:

Front - Infinity Kappa 6x8 Component Set 2 ohm 100 Watts RMS
Rear - Infinity Kappa 6x8 2-Way Set 2 Ohm 100 Watts RMS

My Choices to date:

*** JL Audio E4300 ***
# RMS Power Rating (14.4V):
* 4 ohms: 70 watts x 4 chan.
* 2 ohms: 110 watts x 4 chan.
* Bridged (4 ohms): 220 watts x 2 chan.
* Bridged (8 ohms): 140 watts x 2 chan.

# RMS Power Rating (12.5V):
* 4 ohms: 45 watts x 4 chan.
* 2 ohms: 75 watts x 4 chan.
* Bridged (4 ohms): 150 watts x 2 chan.
* Bridged (8 ohms): 90 watts x 2 chan.


-or-


*** Kenwood Excelon KAC-X541 ***
# Continuous Power Output @ 4 Ohms Stereo: 60 Watts (rms) x 4
# Continuous Power Output @ 2 Ohms Stereo: 120 Watts (rms) x 4
# Continuous Power Output @ 4 Ohms Bridged: 240 Watts (rms) x 2

Should I be getting a 2 ohm stable spec amp? Any suggestions? Over power is better than under powering or vice versa?

Thanks!!!

 

Might wanna try over in the Audio forum. Ive always got good info in there.

Ditch the Infinity speaks or suffer horrible sound.
