So, I have narrowed down a selection of "budget" (~<$150) amps to power my front Pioneer TSA 6.5s. Which one would you choose (or would you choose another)?

USAcoustics USX2050
Phoenix Gold QX2180
HiFonics Zeus Z200
AutoTek SX-275

I would like the "cleanest-most-bang-for-the-buck-reliable-budget-amp." HeHe.

Damn that's a hard list to choose from. The Autotek and HiFonics are probably the better ones amongst that list. The PG QX amps are not their best models but if you can move up to the XS line that would be even better.

I agree. I did a lot of research and read countless threads on sounddomain.com forum. I decided on the Autotek SX-275. Even though I *really* wanted the HiFonics Zeus the Autotek was ~$30+ cheaper.

Do you think their could be any heat issues with installin' the amp underneath the passenger seat? Especially during the winter time when I have the heater on. I mean how hot will it get just powerin' my fronts?

I never really had an overheating problem with my Orion 100Wx2 amp when I had that installed under my seat previously. Just make sure the amp is small enough to give you a 1' clearance on top of it from the seat bottom.

Good luck with that amp....
