Easy - Behringer EP2500.

Sure you'll get loads of other suggestions, but 2 years on and mine is still as good as when I bought it.

Zach, i would consider saving up and buy two amps to run your system. Like one to run your tops and one to run your bass bins.

I would probably opt for two Numark Dimension 4 amps, which retail at around £250 each.

However, if you didn't want to do this, you could opt for one Behringer EP2500, which is 2x1200 into 2 ohms bridged operation. These also retail at around £250 each.

BUt the euro power 2500 should run all 6 fine

Go for that one then Zach.

It runs our bass bins fine, but i was just thinking of back up purposes. If that one amp goes down, then you can't exactly switch over to the other one to run your tops, saccrificing (sp?) the bass bins or the 200w speakers in the process.

Just a suggestion though.

Spend your money on what you can afford - you'll get too many suggestions here to the point that your head will spin!

The behringer kit is pure amazing for the price. Their amps and speakers kick out amazing quality sound at great levels. I have no criticism for the behringer speakers/amps/mics and outboard gear (effects, EQs etc)

Peavy stuff rocks! Couldn't agree more, I recommend it to bands, tho you get a bit more for your money with Behringer depending on where you shop.

Go for the Europower 2500.

I run two with my JBL JRX setup and people are always complementing the sound

I think that the Behringer EP2500 amplifier would serve you well Zach.

It is in your budget, will adequately power your speakers..and it should last you a fair few years if treated correctly :)

flight case would be an idea :)

I think Zach just wants the amp for now..possibly wanting to put it in a 2U flight case at a later stage.
