Would it be better to go with one of the better name amps being used or remanufactured or one of the budget amps off eBay like the cerwin vega? Just trying to do a decent budget system. I already have a pair of Kappa's installed.
Hard to wrong with Creative audio reman stuff. If you go entry level stuff, that's just what you will have. Do it right the first time is a good plan.

Just my opinion, Forum Classifieds or refurbished JL or Rockford Fosgate T400X4 AD can be had on Fleabay for $280....In most cases Biketronic's will transfer warranty on their products, if you find one in the classifieds... Go 4 Channel even if your only running 2 channel, still get a 4 channel, you can bridge if you need the wattsbut the Kappa's are pretty efficient from what I have learned...but you will have the ability to expand with ditching your amp....
Be sure you are comparing 4ohm to 4 ohm power ratings or 2 vs 2, when amp shopping. Some amps make more power when under less resistance 2 ohm.....I believe your Kappas are 2 ohm speakers, but most speakers are 4 ohm.

Just FYI, the lower the ohm reading when it comes to resistance or load, the higher the resistance. On 8 ohm speaker creates way less resistance than a 2. Simple way to look at it 0 Ohm is dead short, so its easy to understand that the lower the number, the harder it works the equipment. hope this helps.
