If you don't have a x-over, a two channel amp will not work in this situation.
You either need a passive x-over to put between the speakers and the amp, or 4 channel amp AND an electronic x-over to put between the amp and the head unit.
And I'm going to ask again, as the person before me did. Why so much power? Power hungry is one thing, but almost 3 times the RMS is going to get you in trouble.
What he means by "stock" component set is he is using the passives that came with the set.
Why the power.....First off I could write a book about these speakers......in fact if you search...I kind of did
They reach there full potential with gobs and gobs of power. I ran about 500 to mine and it was amazing! (bridged HRU.4 and REF4.920 at different times) Ran them active off same 4 channels, ran active with about 200 to each mid and 120 to each tweet with different two channel amps....ran them off a rockford t600.2 with passives......did it all with these speakers....... All sounded amazing.... Bridged off the 4.920 was probably my favorite combo with them! Had that comp set for MANY years! Hell they even survived a truck fire!
I still get countless PMs about the 608s and everyone always starts out the same........ 150 or so watts and really likes them......they dont get the same description I had with mine then they go out and run more power.....Different ball game! Anyone that has used them and done this will absolutely stand behind that! They are a unique comp set for sure!
Dont buy the lanzar......500x2 does not exist, certainly not for the tiny handful of amps that truly exist and your budget. I can only think of about 5 or so that can really do the 500x2 and most are long gone, and they did and still do cost about 7x's your budget. Get something like the REF4.920 keep it ventilated and go bridged. It will get warm..... Plus the great thing about the ref amps is you can go active from the xovers on the amp!!!! NEVER a bad option!
If you ever decide to go active or even 3way active fronts......The a/d/s 344is is a spectacular midrange that goes with this set like it was made together!!!! Probably the best budget 3 way set I have ever dreamed of using! Keep the 4.920 for the tweets and midrange and the big 2 channel 190ish x2 for the mids or get the midsize 4 to bridge to the mids! Tons of SUPER clean volume to be had
