Recommend a 5 channel amp? I'm looking for a good 5 channel amp that will run the front and rear speakers and also a 10" Rockford P3 sub. There are so many amp choices out there and I'm just looking for some recommendations. 
I was looking at this one, the price is right!

sounds like Elemental Designs will be coming out with a 5 channel amp pretty quick...sounds pretty basa$$. I have one of their Nine.1's and I love it.
From eD:
That's 100 x 4 + 600 x 1 @ .05%THD at 12.5v
@14v - 1% that's 150 x 4 + 750 x 1
LP / HP / BP / Full on Channels 1+2 & 3+4
50Hz - 4KHz band passable on the 4 channels.
It's disgusting what it does when you bridge the front channels.
Accepts 8v inputs.
18dB per octave crossovers on everything.
3 channel input.

BTW, that amp you mentioned is quite weak in the sub department and I would stay away from anything that lists "maximum power" on the amp....lol The only power number you should look at it the RMS rating, the "max" ratings are useless and are for marketing purposes only.

Hey, thanks for the posts, but holy crap that thing is huge! I actually looking to put this amp in a Dodge Ram and I don't think we could fit that anywhere in the cab lol. Even the JL 500/1 is pushing it. We were hoping to have something that we could fit under the seat. Any ideas?

Here's my ram. I sold it two years ago, but if it's a 2002 and up quad cab. It works. I had two kx1200.1s and a kx650.4. You can put it under the passenger side front seat if your desperate. Take a look, if you have questions, just pm me.
