5 channel Amps

I know of the JL and Memphis Belle. Any others?

What do you recommend. I like the sub power of the memphis but the component power of the JL.

Thanks

Here's what I've got:
Eclipse Eclipse Amp 4 x 45W/1 x 130w Integrated ; Eclipse EA3532

Does a great job for a "low end" solution ... think it was $349 at Al & Eds Autosound ... plus it was small enough they mounted it underneath my rear deck

Very nice choice, lots of power - read an excellent review on it a couple months ago.

wow, they have some serious amps. I think I may have revised what I would like to do. perhaps you audio gurus can help evaluate this path:

I believe I would like to continue to use the existing head unit and use a pac aoem-nis to convert my signal for an aftermarket amp. I think I want to ditch the rear speakers and replace the fronts with some focal speakers (not the really expensive ones, something from the middle of their line up). Also I think I would like to run a 10" JL or Diamond sub. I need an amp recommendation (I dont think i need more than 300 watts to the sub and I would like to run just one amp for the fronts and the sub) and to know if i should run new speaker wire to the front doors. Also, is there anything else I need. DO you agree that i should ditch the rear speakers?

Thanks,

j

I just installed my JL 500/5 Amp. I Love it. Great power and low heat. A bit pricy (I paid $700.00) but well worth it. Go for it, no regrets.
