What amp to buy??????

Hey guys. I am putting together a new sound system for my g, I currently have JL Audio XR series components and co-ax for the doors and rear seat, but I have no idea which amp to buy. I am looking at:
1) JL Audio 300/4
2) Alpine MRV-F540
3) Pheonix Gold Xenon 100.4
4) Kicker KX850.4

Do you guys have any opinions or suggestions. I am also installing 2 JL Audio 10w3v2 with JL Audio 500/1 amp. Thanks for your input.

I run the Lightning Audio Storm product. It performs extremely well and represents a great value.

I just installed the X1.800.4 and the X1.1000.1d in my G35. There is no engine noise, no hiss and power to spare!

I have a PG Titanium ZX475 and an XS2500. I believe the ZX is the equivelant of the new Xenon amps and the XS, the Octane. Xenon is better, but I would not count out the Octane. I used the XS to power two Infinity Perfect 12's and it thumped so hard I always had the gains turned down and the sub amp controls on flat. COMP LOUD.

Go with the JL Audio and if you change your mind to go with W0's go with 500/5 amp with will be perfectly matched to your system if you do some TR's in the back panels.

Do you hear me?

I have decided to go with the JL Audio 300/4 amp. Along with you guys help, and the fact that everything else is JL Audio, I figure why not spend the little extra money, to get what everybody seems to agree is the best out there right now. Thanks everyone for your help.
