Thumbs up Can someone recommend an amp for $200

For $200 what do guys think the best amp I can get. Just a 2 channel with the RMS of 75W per channel. This amp probably will power Focal 165V1. Thanks.

I don't know about 2 channel, but I'm currently looking at Alpine MRV- F345s at just over $200. 50W rms at 4 ohm (75W rms at 2 ohm), so bridged for 2 channels you'd get 100W/channel. I don't know if Alpine is the best, but I like them.

your specs are wrong. I have the MRV-F345. It's 75w x 4 at 4ohms, 150w x 4 at 2 ohms, and 75w x 2 + 300w x 1 in 3-way mode at 4 ohms. Great amp BTW.

An those specs are all wrong... these amp a very under rated. It may say 75x4 on the box but there's a VERY good chance you'll get it and it will be more like 90x4 @ 4ohms.

I work at a stereo shop where I live, a good two channel amp for what your looking for is a JL Audio e2150 they run about $229.95 and I have one pushing my JL Audio ZR components in my car, which are $800 speakers, and it sounds AWESOME!!!
