5 channel amps
So, for space and visual concerns, I want to use a 5 channel amp for the stereo that I am building in the vette. I have not come across much as far as 5 channel amps go and am wondering what y'all can recommend to me.
What I have found so far is:
Pheonix Gold Octane Series![Hurl](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/hurl.gif)
MTX![Dunno](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/dunno.gif)
Alpine![Dunno](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/dunno.gif)
JBL
Soundstream![Dunno](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/dunno.gif)
PPI![Dunno](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/dunno.gif)
So, am I missing anything or is that pretty much it. If that is it, what do y'all recommend?
TIA

I am going to be running a single 10, 61/2 compnents in the rear and 51/4 in the front, unless i can fit otherwise.
Oh yeah, all of the compnents are going to be Infinity Perfect-I have a hook-up and they sound good for the cash. Oh, and I am pretty much deaf, so I wouldn't be able to tell the difference comapred to anything more high-end.

I just bought a an Alpine mrv-f450 for $300 shipped. I plan on using it to power the 4 door speakers, front seperates, and maybe a sub, while the 6x9's run on the factory amp., But untill I get a sub I will push the 6x9's with the 5th channel.

I'm using and old 5-channel PPI5480. You may be able to find one on e-bay for around $150. You could also try a PPI six channels like PC660 and bridge a pair of them for the sub. Those old PPI are incredible. And those PC series are even better. They will drive your system just fine. I don't about the new ones though since I have no experience with them.

if you dont mind spending the money you can try to look for PPI 5ch amp, they are one of the best amp on the market, i dont have model number but all you have to do is search around and you should find info about it. good luck on the build up.

Ok, what about alphasonik? I know that they used to be really good in the old days. But, since they have been bought over, has anybody had an experience with them?

The Directed amp is o.k. They just put a new heat sink on it this year with blue lights, the guts are the same as they were, right , Batman?
The A7 is like a G-whiz, and I heard a car w/TWO of them. IASCA champ in its class for SQ. Ran 2 tweets, t dome mids, 2 6" midbass, and 2 10"s.

Eld,
Since when were you able to get the 5 channel? did i miss this.. I might have to get this for the new car.
Never did see a A7 and i am thinking of changing some stuff around in the TL so if you recommend it.. then it's gotta be good.

I'm glad they are going in the right direction... but the Xenon series are not ZPA or Titanium, and the people who made PG amps, processors, and such such killer gear are long gone.
