Default Amp Recc?

Guys I am looking for a good amp - 4 channel around 500-600 watt to drive my front and sail panel mids. I am going to drive my rear deck speakers and front tweets off my HU (aftermarket Panasonic) amplified front and rear (aftermarket speakers all around - infinity I believe not sure as I put them in about 9 years ago). I don't wanna spend a ton and am looking to stay around 100-150 price range as I just want a good quality sound and not blaring. I have heard a lot of good things about MB Quart amps and have looked at the DSC450 and the DSC4125 as well as the Eclipse EA4200 amp. Anyone recc a good one at this price and what do you think of these amps? Also, I would like to keep the car some what stock and hide the amp, but the trunk well is not available as I have a sub box back there. Can you install the amp under the pass seat and is there enough room?

BTW - I'm changing the carpet out and will be putting down secondskin sound dedener so I will be able to do it right.

FYI, I priced these all off of ebay.

PHOENIX GOLD V754 , 75 watts rms x 4 @ 4ohms: around $130

U.S. Amps/ RE Audio XT-800.4v2, 50 watts rms x 4 @ 4ohms: around $170

US AMPS MERLIN SERIES MD-42N, 75 watts rms x 4 @ 4ohms: around $215
IMO, This Amplifier is worth the extra money above your budget!
