Default What amp to use.....

I am in the process ofreplacing my front speakers with MB Quarts with power handling of 70-150 watts and I already have some Bostons in the back with power handling of 2-60 200 watts of peak power. My question is what would the best amp be to push all 4 speakers? I have a Memphis 4x50 which will not be enough so I need to replace it. Any help would be appreciated...thanks

1. Why isn't that memphis big enough?
2. Why are you mxing speaker brands in your front and rear stage?
3. MD Quart blows ever since tey were bought out by Rockford Fosgate, get some Bostons for your front to match your rears.

Gee, thanks for VERY friendly advise. You sure helped a lot! I've already purchased the MB QUARTS and i'm not impressed with the Bostons. I just thought that since the MB QUARTS could handle so much more power that maybe I needed a bigger amp.

I am driving my 150 watt rms speakers at 300 watts with no problems in my pathfinder.

I am drving 90 watt rms speakers at 50 watts in my wifes car with no problems.

Its really all relatvie. I wouldn't run much power to a set of quarts unless I wanted my ears to bleed from the harshness.
