Need Help Picking a Amp

What company makes good amps for fair price. I'm looking for probably 5 channel amp. I want to power factory front and rear speakers. Gonna pick up a Unclad 12" box down the road.

I have always liked and used Alpine Amps and Infinity Speakers. The best price/RMS I found on 5-channel Amps when I did my homework a while ago was the Infinity.

You might want to get a 6 channel amp then, 1 for each speaker then the last two to be bridged for a sub later on. Do you have a particular budget? Any features you want?

Def. find a good 6 channel. It would be hard to find an amp that wouldn't overpower your speakers or underpower your sub. If you find a 150rms x 5 then you'd only be getting 150 to the sub (not nearly enough unless its crappy haha). I'd find a 6 channel and bridge 2 channels to double the power. Just make sure its possible (most are..but just incase)

you won't notice much of a difference going from 150 to 300w with a sub.

And for the sub(s).

What is your budget?

Memphis Belle is a long-time good one... but expensive. High quality, good sound quality and powerful. It is 1 ohm stable and will do over 1000W to a sub, if I remember right, and 75x4 for your front/rear.

I actually have JBL 6 channel amp sitting here. I might just use that. I really dont have a budget. If its good price, I will buy it.

Thanks guys
