4-channel amp, $200 budget
Hey guys,
My buddy's lookin for a new amp. I think he'll be using it for SL165s and some 5.25 kappa comps, so no more power than 80 - 100 / channel. I know he won't be able to afford an Arc amp with a budget of $200, but I'm tryin to find him something reasonable. He immediately went for an infinity reference (7541a) because he saw 110 watts / channel for just over $200 and figured what a deal. But the specs on that amp suck, and I don't know anything about infinity amps, but I do know there's something better for the money.
Any help is appreciated, thanks guys.

yeah, just amp the comps and leave the rear alone. i'm SURE Don can help with something for around 200. 
btw, at the car meet today...heard some guy said to his friend as they were walking away from my car:
"he's is running two arc amps."
"oh really? never heard..."
"oh don't worry, it's just some swap meet brand i believe..."
guess they didn't know i was the owner of the car

Well, about those comps...
They're actually not seperate tweeter and woofer. Not sure if anybody is familiar with them, but the tweeter is permanently mounted to the woofer like a regular 2-way speaker. UNlike a normal 2-way though, there is a passive x-over and the tweeter and woofer each have their own hookups.
He wants to buy my SL165s that I'm not using anymore (used to be rear fill) and put those in the front. So there aren't going to be any seperate components here.
