Component Help Needed
I know I do not have a Ranger anymore, but the guys over on the F150 forums aren't very helpful. I'm getting a set of Polk Audio DB6501's which are 6.5 componenets and I have no clue on what kind of amp to order. I know these handle 100 RMS a piece, so I'm thinking I need a 2 channel 250 watt amp? Thanks guys.

I dont know if you plan on extending you system down the road but if you do I recommend getting a nice 4 channel amp now rather than later( if you are expecting to expand to maybe 4 speakers). Match up the RMS of the speakers to the amp. Another thing is the speakers you are looking at are 4ohm make sure you are checking the power ratings for the amp for 4ohm and not 2 ohm.

If you plan on expanding then a 4 channel like the one you chose would be good. You can bridge the other two channels and put in a 300 watt sub or use them for 2 more speakers.
I've had good experience with MB Quart and Hifonics amps.
This would be another good option.

I think either one would be fine. The hifonics pushes 100w rms at 4 ohms like you need. Both brands are owned by the same parent company and should be reliable.
If you trying to decide between those two in particular maybe look at the physical dimensions as to what would fit better in your truck. Also think about if the glow from the hifonics might be annoying after a while. Otherwise the performance should be about the same.
