Good Amp for Compnenets

I have a set of CDT 642 3 ways im putting in. Need a good 2 channel amp recommendation. How much RMS does the MTX Thunder 8302 actually put out in our cars?

Thanks for the help.

RMS

By The Way, CDT says that these components handle 170 rms. Will the Thunder 8302 do the job? Any other recommended arund the 200 price tag?

Thanks again.

Why don't you pick up a JBL 80.4 from www.ikesound.com for I think $150 shipped. You can bridge it and give your speakers 160 each, and it will put out that power. I use that amp and for the $128 dollars it cost me when I got it, it is worth it.

Alpine V Powers?

Are Alpine V Powers any good? Better then the JBL's or no?

Thanks

if all you need it to do is to provide power and you like the way it looks get the JBL, if you need more options then it might be better to look elsewhere. I doubt that the reliability between the two is worth the price difference.
