Looking for a new amp

I'm in the market for a new amp. Thing is I dont want a sub; just the current upgraded front and rear speakers and the tweeters.
any suggestions on a good amp for my needs?, this is the first time I look into an amp so I'm a noob over this topic. any help will be appreciated.

The amp is for my 2000 Prelude. Current setup is, Alpine CDA-9885 Head Unit, Alpine SPR-17C front speakers, stock rear speakers (acoustic feedback), stock tweeters.
yea, basically I just want more output power out of my existing set up; volume, clarity, etc. Thx

Can't recommend anything without you telling us what your budget is. Most likly it will be a 4 channel amp that you will be looking at if you want to power all 4 speakers and no sub.

Is it possible to power the rear speakers and keep the Acoustic Feedback feature? can I, or should I power the tweeters from the amp?

I don't think you can keep the AFB system on your prelude. From my understanding the AFB works well on a stock system because it cuts down on distortion by cutting of certain freq in the rear. If you are upgrading all of your speakers, you won't have to worry about that because your aftermarket speakers will sound a lot better and have less distortions then those crappy stock one.

If you want to leave the rear speakers alone, and just amp the front, the easiest and cheapest way is to get a 2 channel amp and amp the front. Since you already upgraded your front speakers with coaxial, there is no need to add another tweeters since your coaxial already have one.

With $300 you have a lot of room to work with on buying an amp.
Best buy right now
about $200 shipped
http://www.millionbuy.com/rocpunch75.html
This amp is rated 37wRMS per channel put really outputs close to 200wRMS per channel. This is a special limited edition amp and is worth every penny!

I've always been a big fan of Diamond Audio products. There amp are very highly rated.
http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?...Product_ID=181

Since you have all alpine product, why not go with an alpine amp?
http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?...roduct_ID=4737

What would I personally do?
I would get that RF limited edition amp and upgrade the front speakers to a component speakers. Since you don't plan to get subs, those coaxial speakers, your system will really lack bass. Components are by no means replacement for subs, but the bass can kick a lot harder then coaxial. I would leave the rear speakers alone and let the HU power that. I am no a fan of "wasting" money on the rear most of the time you will hear the sound from the front.

thanks a lot for your help, SA. I think Im gonna go with RF amp and leave my rear speakers be powered by the head unit. gonna wait for a while to see if i need to upgrade the front speakers, if they dont sound as expected and theyre extremely lacking of bass response I'll upgrade them fo sho.

If you do get THAT RF amp, make sure you set the gain correctly. Like I said, even though the amp is listed at only 37wRMS the birth sheet will be something around 200-220wRMS per channel. That is about 3-4x more power then what you need to power those coaxial speakers. It is fine ONLY if you set the gain correctly.
