AMP & Speaker suggestions
Hi, I'm currently tired of all the electrical mess that I have from having two amps for my speakers and sub. Can someone recommend me a good amp for ~$300 (preferably less I'd actually like to spend $200 but I know there isn't much out there). Main Points enough to power some decent components and an old school kevlar infinity 10" subwoofer (i was running 100x2 bridged to it). I have no idea on what amps are good for SQ but I'm not looking for loudness as much as I am SQ.
I'm also in the market for some new speakers since I blew out one of the tweeters in my old alpine components (forget what model). looking to spend less than 150. I can't really demo a lot of speakers where I'm at since I have a very busy schedule and my location doesn't have very many audio shops. I'm looking for speakers that will produce pretty good midbass and warm/detailed highs (I know my description is pretty vague but i really hate harsh/bright tweeters). I listen to mostly R&B/Soul, Acoustic and hip-hop, if that makes any difference at all.
I'm currently looking at the Kicker 08ZX550.3 or Boston Acoustics GT-475 as amp choices and infinity 6030cs for speakers? I could be totally off though Lol, any help and suggestions would be appreciated.

I've heard the Infinity 6030cs tweeters are pretty bright. I have Boston Acoustics SL60s and love them, but they're a bit more than you're looking to spend. I don't know enough to recommend an amp that fits your criteria.

I have not heard them personally. If I had to guess, judging by the quality of the SL60s, I bet you would be happy with them. Or, *I* would anyway. Speaker choice is very subjective.

Besides that, they sound good for the money.
I don't think I would recommend them.
Amp wise, I would try to find a nice older Soundstream, PPI, Phoenix Gold, Nakamichi or A/D/S amp.

Just buy whatever you can afford that you're pretty sure isn't a total piece of crap. You aren't going to hear the difference, esp not in an S2000.

I should clairify, **on an amp**.
Speakers... listen to as many setups as possible. I'm a big advocate of door treatment vs buying the most expensive shit you can afford when it comes to door speakers.
There's a breaking point for everyone.
