Amplifier Help Needed!!

[mattg]

I need some help with choosing a good value amplifier that is suitable for my current set up in my 182. I'm running the Alpine iDA-X001 http://www.alpine-europe.com/index.php?id=digital_media_receiv (4x50w) with JL Audio TR525-CXi (75w total, 50w RMS) http://mobile.jlaudio.com/products_components.php?comp_id=60
in the front and back,
and an Alpine SWD-1000
http://www.alpine-europe.com/index.php?id=swe-1000 in the boot.

I think I want to go for an Alpine or JL Audio 2 channel amplifier? But from there I haven't a clue! It needs to be able to fit under the passenger seat as well. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks, Matt

What you going to use the amp for?

Because the headunit can run the comps. and the sub is self powered.

It was suggested to me by a mate that an amp would improve the system, and get rid of the distortion I get at high volume. At present I have to fine tune all the bass settings etc to make sure it doesn't distort depending on what cd i'm listening to, and its not the best thing to be messing about with while driving!

sorry to go off topic, but how does that alpine subby sound?? is it bassy enough?? and how does it wire up?? im guessing you need a power cable from car battery to the unit for power then an audio out from the head unit to the sub?? any info would be good. Also is it small enough to fit under a passenger seat in the clio??

Its really good, just the right amount of bass, not too much, not too little. You will need to run the power cable to the battery, and phono cables etc from the headunit. The sub won't fit under the seat i'm afraid.
