well do you want it to sound good or be cheap?
since i dont believe your speakers throw 300 watts each.. id say sell em and buy new speakers. like JL audio C2s. they are pretty decent sounding and cheap. XD4004 amp is a good one to run and easy to hide/install.

if you want cheaper and lower quality. you can get some alpine type S component speakers for like $140 and you wont even wanna amp em.

look into hertz as well, the orange ones.. cheap and decent

or for a slightly nicer quality but still not super high end you can do some focal, JL (C3 or C5) or exile speakers in the $400-500 range running off a JL 300/4 this amp is one of the best amps for less than $500

so what lets rewind. how much did you wanna spend?

oh and jensens got amps for like $60 if you just want somethin cheap to make em louder.

I am using a Massive Audio D3600 for 2 JL W3V3's and couldn't be happier. It was one of the cheaper amps I found with good reviews. May look into something from them

ALso, look into the Boston GTA-1105, I have heard good stuff about them too.

I'm assuming your meaning 300max, so your prob looking at 150wrms, anyways, Don't hate on this, but check Dual, I set up a 2-channel from Walmart to a small RF 12" in a custom box, only ran about 150wrms, so about 300max and it was rattling the trunk pretty bad. It was only $50 for the amp. And I believe it has a hi-pass, not 100% sure, for tweeters

Im assuming he's talking about pro-audio speakers, likely 10 inch mid ranges, such as beyma or ev's or the like. He's probably talking about 300rms.

Sounds like an SPL setup; in which case go for cheap, reliable power. Hot deals change daily.

+1 about cheap / reliable with this type of setup. no reason to get a clear / reliable amp due to the use.
