Need a powerful 5-channel amp...

I want to switch out my two amps for one powerful. So far the ones I've looked at dont have enough power for me. I need
at least 100x4@4ohms+400x1@2ohms....
Any suggestions?

well what are you running exactly because it is best to run seperate amps for your subs than your speakers but if your stuck on a 5 channel eclipse makes a good one and rockford also makes a wonderful one but pm me for advice

I dunno, I have a soundstram Rubicon 805 5 channel, and while I haven't put it in yet, I hear its pretty damn good. Its an oldie but goodie. My car is going in on Friday for the install, so maybe we can hook up soon(again ) so you can check it out.

My 3 cents cause 2 cents can't buy you shit anymore.

I've looked into Soundtreams, the most powerfull one is D'Artagnan 5.1, it's got 65wx5+400x1w....
That Rubicon that you have should be pretty sweet, I hear that
the old-school Soundstreams are better quality than the new ones...
Where you getting the install done?

lets see, dynamat galore, replace tweets / midbass with focals, upgrade battery, upgrade alternator, bling bling in the trunk, probably will do kick panels for the 2 of the midbass, and other minor stuff. Thats the gist of it.. ohh and I'll toss in the headers while its in there too.
