Amp that will power Morel Maximo

I need to power one pair of Morel Maximo 6.5" 2-way speakers, rated 90w rms @ 4 ohm.

Ideally, I'd like to stay under $140 but I'll go up to $180 if the benefits are really worth it. Running passive, looking for clean power. I'd rather send 75w of clean power than a dirty 110w, especially if the 75w are coming from an under rated amp.

What I've found so far, in no specific order:

Arc Audio FD 2200, 100w x 2, $180:

Cadence Q2000, 90w x 2, $130:

JL Audio JX360/2, 110w x 2, $130:

PPI PC360.2, 110w x 2, $140:

PPI BK340.2, 110w x 2, $120

Any thoughts? What would you remove from or add to this list?

The arc would be perfect and clean but I would try to find a nice used old school amp like mmats or liner power for componints that nice.

I'm going to be running a Rockford T600-2 to mine ... DD-1'd to 0db .. can we say HEADROOM ;) these Speakers are great!! They definitely can take some power, so depending on your application you can send more with the right crossover settings on your amp and HU..

But to add to your list, You can consider a RF T400-2 , I even found my RF T600-2 at 200 used in EXCELLENT condidtion. These will give you plenty of clean power and headroom so you don't have to worry about distortion

Thats cool. Im way too old to be upset by shit like that. Your name is winston. Your own parents hated you even before you were born.

My penis is bigger than your penis

I'm far from loud and my roof/headliner flaps around like Adam's ass on a windy day. I think it depends more on the structure of the vehicle.

RF T400-2 is $218. A bit higher than I was looking for.
