best buy amp suggestion
Hey guys, I have a giftcard to best buy and would like to use it to get an amplifier to power my alpine 9885 and diamond audio component set. I bought them used so I am not sure what model the comp. are but the guy said he paid $300 for them...I just need this amp to clarify things a bit more and to have more sound when driving topdown on my way to california from dallas! What is the best amp I can get from best buy for this situation?

After looking on Best Buy's website I have found 2 options that I think would work great.
This amp would be just fine for the casual listener. Reasonable price and provide enough power and clarity.
1. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Alpine+-+200W+...0&skuId=8699349
This amp is one of my favorites PERIOD. First of all it is class D design so it gives off nearly no heat. Also being class D it is very small and can be mounted almost anywhere, such as above the fuel tank. Also it is a extremely clean AND powerful. It is a 4 channel amp and that adds the benefit of if you ever decided to add a sub then you could just bridge the 2 rear channels for the sub and continue to use the front channels for the speakers. This is a great amp on all accounts. Reliable, great price, good sound quality and gobbs of power which is especially important in a convertible with road noise. Hope this helps!

I have the Kappa four and love it, it's tiny for the power. You are going to need the extra power to overcome the road/wind noise and maintain an unclipped signal.
Use the gift card for the wiring kit, you can find the amp for $300 online.

What speakers are you powering with the infinity amp?
