I ended up a Rockford Fosgate fan. The remote bass punch has turned out to be a really cool feature too. 8-)

I would say Phoenix Gold, JL, PPI and my favorite SOUNDSTREAM. All of those can be had for around 400 bones through eBay in the wattage you need or close.

what's your price range?

I mean I could say go with zapco or tru but you most likely don't need that.

My suggestion would be to stay with a solid company that you have a local shop that can help you deal with warranty issues. Even the best companies have bum amps...

personally I am a very big fan of JL Audio. They are very solid. Nice looking and have an application right up your alley. They are also fairly priced.

I'd suggest getting one amp to run all your stuff since it doesn't sound like you need an insane amount of power. Either that or get a small one for your seperates and a mono for your subs.

My suggestions would be JL Audio, Pheonix Gold. Then I'd drop down into the alpines. they make some very solid mid range amps. I had a v12 for a while. Loved it .

I like RF for sub powering but that's about it. If you don't mind running different companies amps you might go with an alpine for the fronts and an RF for the subs. But I like my amps to match...call me **** but so be it.

Zapco if you have money. C2K series which is their competition level stuff, but it's $$$. Very worth it for the sound it produces.

Arc audio makes good amps 2. Arc audio = some of the guys from zapco who left and started it.

It all depends on your budget. PPI, Soundstream, JL, etc make good amps too.

Xtant & Eclipse were 2 that I didn't see as I scanned through here. Both really clean amps if that's what you're going for.

MA Audio or Audiobahn make good amps too if you don't need a d-class. they both have high current series amps that rock.
