Question need help choosing amp

I've recently burnt up my old amp and I'd like a little help picking out a new replacement. I'm looking for 100-125rms x 4 to run a subless system on classic rock. Looking through ebay I spotted some inexpensive Lanzar's that seem like what I'm looking for.

MXA412

Honest opinions please, are either of these what I seek? Are they junk? Did I screwup by showing you these links and you're going to buy all of them before me?

not that lanzars are bad. i prefer alpine amps. you should check them out. http://www.alpine-usa.com/en/product...model=MRP-F450 i personally like the f450. i install stereo equipment for a living at best buy and we've had excellent results with these particular 4 channels.

Arc Audio KAR 600.4
100W x 4 @ 4 ohms

JBL BX300.4
123.5W x 4 @ 4 ohms

I reccommend the Arc Audio amp because they are higher quality. However, if it's out of your reach price wise, the JBL one is good too. It is about double the cost of the two amps you posted however.

I looked on ebay and didn't see any of those suggested. Where can I get these and are any near the $100 mark? Sorry if I seem like such a cheap ass but sound isn't near as important to me as speed. I really appreciate the help and suggestions.

$100 dollars... thats not gonna get you anything really. I would say for a decent amp you will spend at least $200. You won't find an amp with that much power for $100, thats for damn sure.

Under $200 is my goal. I found an Infinity 7541a for about $180 shipped. Would y'all say that's a better amp?
