Answer 1

well you did not give a budget, so i will answer in a more generic sense. the SPS-600 will hold up to 80 watts RMS so i would get a amp that produces less than that say around 50-75 x4. for the SPS-400 they only hold 45 watts RMS. but adjusting the gain slightly for that pair and using a good high pass filter will eliminate the extra power that would damage these speakers. it uses the same tweeter as the SPS-600 so the tweeter willl handle the power the mids will not. thats why I think a high pass filter will help. I would put a high pass of around 120hz-200Hz to the SPS-400's. and if you are using a sub then around 80HZ for the SPS-600's also. But that is just a off the cuff sugestion.

here are a few amps i would recomend for varing budgets, all sound great.

$150 -  http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Product/I...

$200 - http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Product/I...

$240- http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Product/I...

$320 - http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Product/I...

All these amps produce roughly the same volume only about a 1db difference, so hardley noticable. My pick would be the $200 Apline, but that's just me.
