A good 4 channel amp

Well being as the local theif , got me for my tools and my 4 channel amp that was under the seat , can anyone recomend a good 4 channel amp , --under 200 bucks-- I will be purchasing another one and was wondering what some of your experiences were with amps,...
anyhow I need the amp to have a built in crossover, with some adjustability , and more than 50 watts a channel ....
thanks

no upgrades- only singing to our passengers (also works as theft deterrant)

check out these amps-
jbl
rockford (not sure if under $200)
phoenix gold (not under $200, but worth the money)
kicker impulse
fusion (mine is 125x4 @4ohms)
kenwood

these are all reliable amps and most are undre budget. i like the kicker and kenwood amps for the money. the jbl is pretty low-priced too (online). i'm pretty happy with my fusion amp (powers all my midrange).

Bruce, check out KENWOOD. they make some awsome amps for the money. Bout $179 you can get a good kenwood amp. Possibly u could spend a lil more than $200...bout $225 and get a 5channel amp which u can get a lil 10'' sub or bass tube for ur trunk. I know how ur speakers sound...u need a sub!!!

I'm a concept audio guy so I'll add this to your option. It's a 35 Watts X 2 + 75 Watts X 2 4 ohm amp. Although as a warning, concept seriously underrates their amplifiers. It's loabelled as $350 on Concept's site but you can find it cheaper. Here is a place in Eastern USA that sells stuff at great prices:

100% agree-Kenwood-excellent bang for a buck. They push more power then they are rated at. Check out Kenwood subs as well.

i like their subs, but never heard their amps. i'm sure they are solid tho. personally, i'd go with either jbl, kicker, or kenwood. easy to find and pretty reputable as well as underrated. that is if you wanna stick to your budget.

check out a kicker impulse ix404....40x40 watts,bridgeable,and can run at 2 ohm load!...plus definitely runs higher than its rated..i've got a Rockford Fosgate 10" Sub running off one channel and it hits hard!!...runs about $279 though,but well worth it

Hey Bruce, Go to Wal-Mart and pick yourself up a Jensen 600x4 amp for the time being. $169 and it will hold you for a min.

Check out MTX also. They too underate their amps. If I remember correctly, the four channel is the 4152 ( part number ). Hell of an amp if its tuned right.

I just yesterday ordered the JBL P80.4, which is also 40x4. It'll take 2-ohm loads to 80 x 4 and is bridgeable to three or two channels.

The deal-sealer for me was the price, $131.25 + shipping:

I also ordered JBL GTO component speakers for up front at $100 and three-way 6.5s for the rear doors for $60. Damn cheap, and JBL stuff is solid.
