Default Recommend a 5 channel amp

Looking for something that does not break the bank. Needs to be at least 75w x 4 at 4 ohms & 250 x1 at 4 ohms.

Arc audio xdi805. They are a nice middle of the road amp. Compact, good power and all over ebay for under $300

Or since you are just running fronts + sub I've got a lightly used arc audio xdi803 3 channel I'd make you a decent deal on.

JL Audio makes one hell of a 5 channel, but Memphis makes the big boy with 1000 watts rms on the sub channel. If your not willing to pony up for either of those alpine pdx amps are your answer. They are tiny do rated and you can pick one up cheap especially if you buy used.

You will pay a little more up front but you get what you pay for

I have had a 600/4 and it was one of my favorite amps by far, I would not hesitate to get another one

I've got a 600/4 and a 1200 monoblock in my set up.

(600/4)
http://creativeaudio.net/jl-audio-re...plifier-600-w/

(1200/1)
http://creativeaudio.net/jl-audio-re...lifier-1200-w/

I bought these about 4 years ago and They rock!! First i bought the better quality Alpines and they worked great until my kicker speakers took a ******* on me. I went to higher end speakers JLaudio 12w6v3 (pair) and Hertz Hi Energy component fronts and rears and the alpines couldn't keep up with the power....in come the JLaudio and it sounds like Carnegie Hall in my car....
Moral of the Story....save your nickels for a few months more and get the better quality first (once) and enjoy.
There are better more expensive out there but for crisp clear drop dead sound BEFORE YOU GET INTO COMPETITION LEVEL....only JL audio will do.
