Sorry, I don't like 5 channel amps. They almost never have enough power for the subs I like.

I reccomend the JL 500/5, or the Alpine MRV-F450, , i haven't heard that phoenix gold amp you suggested yet so i can't say much about it. But what i have hear from my friend who worked for a Phoenix Gold dealership was that they had the highest amp failure rate out of all the top manufactures including sony,,, that was last year. After hearing that iv been a bit sceptical.

didnt know that I am gonna be powering 2 8's or 1 10 so the sub channel will be ok.. The alpine looks ok, but the JL has a low power rating for the rear.

I shure do haha, the sub channel hella pounded 2 R-15's at 2 ohms, not reccomended to go less than 4 ohm tho! The speaker channels are clear and loud, you'll be impressed.

Well, I was always a fan of the Orion 5 channel amps. I used toi sell the cs500.5 which was the cobalt version and it was always a easy sale and never came back. Sounded good and had alot of Jam.

EBAY check out the soundstream reference 405, it's an old scholl amp and only rated at like 35 x 4, 100 x 1 watts a channel (yea right) but it's a 5 channel, and it will impress the hell out of you!!!

I suppose I will go with the alpine. I like the JL amps, but the are hella $$$$$. Im out of the soundstage up front, rear fill only idea. I want full power to all channels to blow my brains out.
