Default Which amp? 4ch amp powering 4 mbquart speakers. have a list, which of these?

Ok, i'm gonna get two mbquart rce 213s for the front, and two discus non-components by mbquart for the rear.

Here are the 3 amps I'm considering, any opinions?

<a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=4950&item=57573494 32&rd=1">DIAMOND AUDIO D3400.4 AMP</a>

Default If you don't have to have it new you could also consider the Diamond Audio D5300.4

I picked one up off of ebay for just over $100.

Default Better amp. D5 has a regulated power supply, lower THD, and oddly enough the D5300.4 uses a pair of

30A fuses, for a total of 60A max current draw while the D3 uses a single 40A fuse. So even though the D3400.4 is rated at 50Wx4 and the D5300.4 is only rated for 37.5Wx4, the D3 can't draw as much current. I'm not sure if this is due to a regulated vs. unregulated power supply or what.

Default Have you looked at a JL 300/4

it might cost a little more than the ones you posted (although then again, maybe not - i don't know how much they go for used) but the sound you get out of it is amazing.
