AMP recommendation please

I pulled my speakers from my 150 and am installing them in the 250 CC. I need your help to find an amp to push em'.

Fronts-- Infinity Ref 6810cs 90W RMS
Rears-- Infinity Ref 6812cf 60W RMS

Should I amp both front and rear, or just the fronts? I will be adding a sub at some point, just not sure when or what yet. I am upgrading HU also so I can't break the bank on this, kids are still expecting Santa to show up in a couple of months. I have seen some Eclipse 4 ch amps for $140-$170 range. I would like to keep it at $250 or below. Any other info needed?

Thanks in advance!

Im a huge fan of the Alpine MRP-F450. KKR 350.4 Eclipse XA4000 or EA 4100.
All really nice amps.

Thanks for the response Low_e_Red.

The Eclipse EA4100 is one that I was looking at. Is there a difference in the EA4000 and the EA4100?

Thanks for the input guys. I think I am going to try to get ahold of a 4000 (I've seen some pretty good deals on them). If not the 4000, I will snag a 4100.

You probably will find a REALLY good deal on the 4000 since the 4100 is the replacement

Thumbs up amp purchase

where do u plan to buy the amp(s) from, if u buy at circuit city, from there selection, then u should use mtx or kicker, the eclipse amps are not true, and tend 2 over heat bridged in 2ohm. i have 3 i am selling, almoast giveing away, but i can also purchase direct from mtx and get amps at almoast what audio stores pay, that is any mtx amp even the thunderbird series, plus many more i even know where a jl 1000/ series for 400. but i could get it cheaper, none of it is hot i can send u original recet, let me know if u r interested, i will get u a sweet set set up, but i can get almoast brand amp for better than what moast audio dealers sell them for.
