the new mini sized ones look cool, but I have no idea how good the quality is. Can't be that bad. I think pasmag did a review recently

my friend was running arc amps, not sure of the models but they broke down a couple of times and had to be sent in for repairs. I would pass.

Arc audio is great stuff. Take this as an example...

This is what a quality amp looks like:
http://ampguts.realmofexcursion.com/Arc_KAR_1000.2T/
(Plain design, large caps, big coils, large gauge interior wiring)

This is what a piece of junk looks like:
http://ampguts.realmofexcursion.com/Audiobahn_A4002T/
(Unnecessary fan, hot glue, mysterious little circuit boards, heat sink that is twice as big as the amp, weights inside to make it feel heavier... chrome plating...)

Ampguts is a fun site, you can see what's worth your cash. For those of you Phoenix Gold lovers, some amp porn:
http://ampguts.realmofexcursion.com/...ank_Amp_Stein/

I've considered Arc in the past but always went with JL just because nobody sells Arc around here.

I dont know if you know who Robert Zeff is, but he is the master mind behind Zappco amps. He is now over at Arc Audio this is a very good thing.Arc was already a good company ,they are now looking at greatness.

Arc, USAmps, Zapco, DLS, and JL are always safe bets.

Eh, I wouldn't say US Amps is. Their Xterminator amps are overrated. Not sure if they changed that yet.
