man I never thought I would post in here but oh well things change. I just got my new amp to run my fronts and I thought I would share. If any of you guys have some ideas about stuff I would love to hear them.

I have ideas about stuff. Lot's of 'em.
As far as the Route 66 amp goes, if you are using it to go active on your front end I don't feel it will be enough power for optimum performance from your ZPM130 and ZPT25 drivers. You could bridge the M44 side on the mids and use the M25 section on the tweets but it's still a downgrade from what you are using now (ZPA 0.3).
Personally I didn't feel the M50 was enough power back in the day and was happy to see the ZX350 come out as it did a better job with the ZP comps than the M50 and was easier for the customers to afford than the M100.
IMO, if you are looking to go active then look for a bit more power than the Route 66.

so if he went passive the 66 would be enough [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img] , anyway. i have used a few route 66's in my time and if you were planning on using it electronic, it would be easily enough power, if you planeed on going passive(boooooooo) you could bridge the 44 side if you wanted. the m sereies of phoenix gold amps,m25,m50,m100,m44, were all very good and very reliable, unlike the zx amps. i actually had a truck that had 6 zx350's in it that at a show one weekend broke 9 amps, trends actually opened thier wherehouse on a saturday to get us more amps, spent half the show replacing amps. regargless the 66 will be plenty of power for you component speakers. if my memory serves me correctly it will give you more power that the zpa in 4 ohm stereo, if i am wrong in saying that, i will stand corrected
