Default What amp to use

Ultra Limited
Running up front PRV 6.5 6MR500CF-NDY-4. (250 RMS/500 Prog)
In the rear PRV 6MB250-NDY-4. (125 RMS/250 Prog)
Super Tweeters
I have the JL Audio XD600/6v2. This gives me 75 W @ 4 Ohm per channel.
Sounds pretty good.... Stock head unit with DSP (will be going to the SD HDHU)

The question... am I under powered?
Would the Hertz SP4.900 be better? (160W @ 4 ohm)
Would the SD 1200.4 4 ohm be better? (198W @ 4 ohm). * this tends to be a "dirty/distorted" sound amp.

If you are wanting to stay away from the SD amps for close to the same money and output of the SD1200.4 you can go with the Cicada BDA 1400.4. Those amps do rated power PLUS or the other option is Euphoria EX4.

That amp will do close to 100 watts per channel clean. Those speakers can handle more but I don't think your ears will be able to with more power. Without having a lower frequency speaker, that combination will scream will more power. Not necessarily in a good way either
