Default Need to replace my 4 channel amp...

And I need some suggestions for what to get...

I'd like something that's 50W RMS @ 4 OHM to match my speakers... Or close to it, in as small of a package as possible...

This is the closest I've found to my MTX RT-404 from days gone by, in both power and physical size... But I figured I'd turn to the experts of the place and get some pointers, suggestions, advice, biatch slaps and what not to point me in the right direction, lol.

why is it that you need a 4 channel? I would just wire the fronts together and the rears together. I would not get a Audiobahn amp, but let me do some quick looking and see what i can come up with.

and I believe that you have the type-s 6x9's in the rear, but what are your front speakers???

thought I would make a new post with some options

Kicker ZX200.2
Rockford P250.2
Crossfire VR302
specs can be found at crossfirecaraudio.com
Memphis 16-PR150.2
JBL CS60.4

there are some choices, I would probably take any of those over the audiobahn.

I just randomly clicked on a 4 channel amp, lol

I've got type-s 6.5" in my doors... or 6.25's... I'm about to fall asleep, so I can't remember, lol. whichever the size is that fits!

And I'd really prefer the 4 channel, as I generally make use of the fade and balance controls (my personal sound imaging, we'll say, lol)

I suppose I could always get two 2 channels... one for front and rear... but then that's a whole lot of extra space taken up...

I use the MTX TA3404 in my truck for all my door speakers. Works like wonders, really clean and efficient. It's 50Wrms x 4 at 4 ohms. Or you could go with this years model of that which is it's upgrade and choose the TE404.

As it stands, I can turn my stereo all the way up to 35 and there is no distortion, no matter what I listen to... I'd rather not lose that, lol...

My current amp, the RT404 is rated for 37.5 W x 4 at 4ohms, and 1% THD...

well hes not really looking for anything really large like he said. .25%THD isn't very much for 50W. He's using one that has 1%THD which is insane, and has no problems.
