The best amp would be a amp that puts out 100x4 into a 4 ohm load. The speakers are 100watts rms and they play very well like that. The alpine pdx400 would be a great choice as it will do the job correctly and it will sound great. Install of the speaker also plays a big roll in the way it will sound.

This will do the job!

(might want to state a budget)

But in all seriousness, a sundown 100.4 will do the job quite nicely

LOL, OP is looking at a $100 amp and you suggest a $1600 amp, although a very good amp it is probably way out of his price range.

JG9, as has been mentioned, and although a good amp, the Alpine MRV-F302 is way underpowered, [4x30W RMS into 4 ohms] for the speakers you have, also as mentioned, you should be looking for something in the 4x100W RMS into 4 ohms, [or more, "it's better to be overpowered then underpowered"]. 94

dont skimp out on the amp.. I have always liked all of Alpines products. Dont go cheap because you will regret it. Try to find something nice that pushes about 100w rms... Dont really know how much you want to spend...

Although MB Quart is now part of the Maxxsonics lineup, [Hifonix, Crunch, Autotek] all junk, in my constitutionally protected opinion, the MB Quart brand seems to have maintained some quality, although I agree with El Civ that it may not be 4x125W RMS, I do not trust RMS wattage specs when "@ voltage" is not given with the spec.

It well may be 4x125, but if that is at 14.5V, I would guess the amp is closer to 4x100, @ 13.5V, and even less at 12.5V.

With that said, it is probably the best bet in your price range. 94

You are correct..it was @ 14v

but for the price, you can't really complain.
