hi, this is probably a dumb topic for you guys, but I am somwhat new to car audio. I am looking at getting a 4 channel amp for my car. I have a Pioneer 6300 that just isn't cutting it for power to my Cerwin Vega HED 162s. They handle 50W RMS. I've been looking around at amps, finding good prices here an there. I know Soundstream is awesome quality and power, and I found a new Rubicon 604 for $150. I'm afraid it might blow my speakers though. I also found an Alpine V12 MVR-F307, which is supposedly 90Wx4 at 14.4V, but only 30Wx4 at 12V, is it a good amp? This one is also used for around $150. Another possibility is a Pioneer 480W GM-564 amp 50Wx4. Brand new for $160. I like Pioneer, but is that amp good, I'd like to get a new one...thanks for the help...

update: I got the Alpine V12 307. $150 on Ebay...

I would suggest against the Soundstream....customer service is crap, and they are not what they used to be IMO
