Default 5 Channel Amps

I am wanting to purchase a decent quality 5 channel amp. I've seen the sony 1505, which I'm hearing is not great, and the Lil' Wonder 5 by Soundstream. Any suggestions/experiences?

Alpine, Percision Power and Eclipse all make nice ones. I heard the new JL is nice but I have no experiance with it.

You can but you loose fadar control of the speakers. So there would be know way to adjust the sound between front and back. It does make the rears a little overpowering :yesnod:

If you want the best 5 channel amp go with either the A/D/S PQ 40.2 or the Soundstream DaVinchi. The PQ is six channels: 4x110 and 2x150. Bridge the 150 to produce 1x300. The DaVinchi is 7 channels and 1200 watts. Great if you want to set up seperates. Precision Power is the bottom end amp line of A/D/S and they are comparable to Rockford Fosgate amps. Orion is their middle end line. The A/D/S Power plates are their top end stuff and they crank. Go to http://www.adst.com for details.
Good Luck
