Which amp should I buy
I've got a 2000 Blazer LS 2door. I just installed an Alpine ida-x100 and the S series 4x6, 6.5, and 6x9's. I was just looking for a few suggestions as to which amp I should get. I'd like to stick with alpine seeing as I've never had any problems with them in the past. Any ideas?

RE: Which amp should I buy
I'd like to get 1 amp to power all 6 speakers so I guess I'd need at least a 4 channel, but I want it to match up correctly so it's not over running the amp. Or is there a way to feed the doors and rears off the amp and run the dash speakers off the receiver? And I'd would like to keep it under $250.

No, and I do regret not getting components. I was trying to keep it as clean looking as possible. My wife doesn't mind a little customization, but not too much. As I understand it they are all 4ohm speakers and if I ran the fronts together it would be a 2ohm drain on the amp. Is that right? So obviously I need something that will work with that. I do have a MRP-F450 that I had in another car that I would use if possible. But I don't want to fill the back up with amps. I also have a SWR-1242D with an amp that I still have to build a box for, so I really would like to keep it to 1 amp for the fronts and rears and 1 amp for the sub. Thanks for your input by the way. This form wouldn't be as great as it is without people like you helping outknuckleheads like myself.

I also forgot to mention, if it is important or not, that I also have a PXA-H100 ordered and should have it any day. I'm still trying to locate the mic and cd that goes along with it. Everyone who isn't charging more than $75 bucks for it is out of stock.

I found an Alpine MRP-F250 on Craigslist that I can probably pick up for $90 but I'd have to grab it right away. Do you think that would work out. I'd like to not have to spend a lot more $.
