Would this be a good thing?

Well I boxed up my Infinity Reference 475A amplifier and sent it back. So now I am looking for a quality 4 channel amplifier to run my 4 component speakers. In the front I have Hertz HSK 165.4 which have an RMS of 125 and 4 ohms. In the rear I have Infinity Cappa Perfect 6.1 with and RMS of 100 and 3 ohms. So I am looking at the JL audio 450/4 amplifier and if I understand it correctly it sends 150 watts RMS to channels 1 and 2 and 75 watts RMS to channels 3 and 4. Ohms can be 1.5-4. So I am wondering if this would be a good choice even though I would be slightly overpowering the front Hertz components I think they could take it? Is there a better solution than the JL amp.? I just want something that is going to not be a limiting component to the system but not seriously overdrive the speakers. Thanks.

The JL Audio amp would be perfect for your components.

The Kappa Perfect 6.1 I believe is a 4 ohm nominal impedance.

You are right. 4 ohms on both speakers.

Also the JL Audio is in a different league then the Infinity.
