Default 165 focal k2's, which amp should i use??

the speakers need 100 watts rms, and will be going into my 94 integra. i don't know which amp to get to supply good clean power. i've looked all over, but still can't come up with a conclusion. i don't know much about quality amps. my choices so far are: eclipse 3422 (goes well with my eclipse 3434 HU I suppose), phoenix gold ti400.2, and... um, that's it. help me out, thanks!

I will be powering my 165k2's with a PPI PCX-4125 (125x4 @4ohms)
There are a few PPI's for sale on this board

Boston Acoustics amps are really good. Can put some clean power to those speakers. A few friends of mine are using Audison (sp?) amps, also older Phoenix Gold amps would do the trick ie. M series, MS series and the zxti models. Just don't get the cheapest one that you can find. Pay a little to get piece of mind.

I also have a phoenix Gold ms-275 for sale that would work nicely on those speakers.

They still make PPI
http://www.precisionpower.com/

Check with your local PPI Dealer and they mave have some great deals on PCX series (last years models) to make way for the DCX series.

Another authorized website is http://www.mainstreet-audio.com
Ebay has a ton of PPI as always
