How does this amp look for my components?

Hey guys, I am looking for a cheap amplifier to go with my alpine type r 17s components in the front, and this one looks to fit the bill...

Does this amp look all good?

Kenwood KAC-M645 Amplifier - Car Amplifiers - Car Audio - Parallel Imported

I am very new to this, but I saw it had 130 rms at 2 channels with 4 ohm - so that should give me a bit of head room as my speakers are 110 rms, to turn the gain down a wee bit - it has a built in high pass filter at 80hz so that would take unnecessary load off my components - looks good right? it has 1% total harmonic distortion though not sure if thats good

I better check it accepts 4v input because I will be using it with an alpine cde-123 head

I am not a crazy audiophile, I care more about jamming to my music then trying to make it sound absolutely perfect, so would this satisfy my needs?

thanks

Depending on the rest of your setup you may not want to x-over at 80hz, but everything else looks good based on your requirements.

Good luck!

While that amp would work, why not get something like this?

They're new to the market, but so far reviews have been positive. It has more power & a variable high/low pass crossover. That way you're not just stuck on an 80hz highpass point. Plus it's tiny & cheaper.

That precision power looks okay, but I dont think I will be able to find one in New Zealand - and the budget is 200 nzd or under so the kenwood just matches that. but thanks for pointing it out, ill see if I can find one...

I thought 80 hz highpass was ideal for components if your gonna be running a subwoofer... I will look into that

thanks for the input so far guys
