Personally I say neither, whats your budget?

We can show you plenty of amps that will do what you need for alot less moolah.

Slightly over your budget but $560 for both, these are definatly worth the extra $60.

Just under your budget, little more flashy but it's blue, dont know if that is the color scheme you desire. $490 for both.

Close $510, these also have a blue led in that little slot about the PG badge, you may be able to swap this out rather easily for the color you desire.

Do 2 of these your again slightly over at $540 but will really tie in your whole system.

I would honestly even though you already have the rears, not put them in. I know you prolly dont want to hear this but I would return the rears and then talk to whoever you got the Bostons from see if you can order 2 additional mid-woofers and add those to your front stage. You'll be able to fill your entire car with sound without a doubt, and a rear stage if you haven't heard it a thousand times around here, is redundant.

If you cant get ahold of anything from Boston you could always add these to your front stage. At $15 each, it'd be worth trying for sure.

Your Boston components and 1 of these in each door, will sound very nice.

You have anyhting for a subwoofer yet either?

You shouldn't need a 4 channel amp for front comps and a sub. Trust me, you really don't want rear fill!!!!!

I'd look into getting an ED Nine.1 and Nine.2. It might go a little over budget but it is really really nice stuff.

All of seight's recs are good though.

He already informed me that the eD is too simple looking. Wants something with a little more flash.

All of those are pretty reliable and relativly consistent, and have that extra touch on the outside as well.

If all your concern is bling, just get a damn audiobahn or volfenhag. they are solid chrome, overrated and unreliable.

rockfords are nice and have show. (chrome casing)
I love my rockfords. You can get some of that stuff at pretty good prices on ebay.

Rockfords are decent, but in general are overpriced. Thier amps are not quite what they used to be.
