    I just purchased a Pioneer AVH-X5600BHS. I was looking at getting the Alpine Type R 6.5 component speakers up front and the Type R 6.5 coaxial speakers for the rear. Can anyone recommend a good amp to power them. I am looking to spend around $250. Thanks everyone!

    I'll have to look into that brand more. Never heard of them but they are pretty darn cheap for the power output they have

    The brand from what I heard is pretty reliable. But I haven't personally tested them. The biggest bonus for me is how small it is. It'll fit just about anywhere.

    I had 4 6.5" and one set was components. It was in a 98 integration and it was by far best set I've personally ever had and all I'll ever use now. Didn't have an amp but I would get alpines 4 channel 400 rms. 100 x4

    For just a hair more I'd look at the Pioneer PRS-D4200F. It's their premier line of amps at a very reasonable price

    Exactly, you pay for what you get. Personally I don't run class D to any or my door speakers. Only A/B setups for me. Which you pay out the A$$ for. But this class D amp with the Type-R's is a GREAT combo. If you need a sub the 5ch amp is the exact same watts plus a 500watt mono amp for the sub. You can get that amp for around $400 which covers your entire sound system. I install them quite often and people love them.

    I don't want to spend $400 on an amp + another $75 on an install kit. I get the you get what you pay for but I'm looking for the best bang for the buck for around a $250 limit.

    Go to techronics.com and find what you want. Then go to sonicelectronix.com and they'll price match.

    I reccomend the JL Audio 700/5. It's what I run. Tiny amp, plenty of power and a sub channel because you'll want to add a sub eventually!

    Pioneer brand is a very known one and very reliable. You should be good with it. At least a decade ago they were one of the leaders in the segment.

    Did you check techronics?

    Edit: HOLY SHIT. Price has went up! I only paid $360 for mine.

    Either way, find whatever you want on techronics, then get sonicelectronix to price match.

    Ok I deiced on the pioneer GM-D8604. It had the power I needed for the speakers I will be using and in my price range. Here is everything I have bought so far...

    Pioneer AVH-x5600BHS + dash kit, wiring harness, antenna adaptor, dvd bypass
    ASWC-1 AXXESS Steering wheel control interface + wiring harness
    Pioneer GM-D8604 Class FD 4-Channel Bridgeable Amplifier
    4 gauge amp install kit
    Alpine SPR-60C 6.5 component speakers
    Alpine SPR-60 6.5 coaxial speakers
    Speaker wiring harness & speaker wire
    Speaker adaptors
    4 channel RCA cables

    Am I forgetting anything I will need for install?

    I haven't picked out a amp install kit or speaker adaptors, if anyone has any to recommend.

    I am also thinking about doing sound deadening in the doors but haven't deiced yet.


    Thanks everyone
