5 ch amp or 2 small amps?

[dollar]

I need suggestions for 1 or 2 amps to power my setup, Diamond Audio D600s in front, 361i in rear and probably a DS310 D2 sub. I was looking at the Diamond D6600.4 & 1200.1 until I looked at the size & my available space which is limited to 25" x 9.4". Only 1 amp will fit.

The 5 ch memphis belle is just over 25", which probably leaves just the jl 500/5. Any other suggestions in the $500-700 range?

What about 2 physically smaller amps, preferable, that will fit in the available space?

you could always get a 4 channel than bridge the sub. prolly would save you some money.

How much power are you looking for in a five channel? I have an old Precision Power PRO 650 that might fit your space requirements. It is rated at 50/100 X4@ 4/2Ohms and up to 400X1 @2Ohms with the sub channels bridged.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I was hoping for 100 watts/ch @ 4 ohm + 300min for the sub. However, I believe I'm going to follow Russ's suggestion, and go with a 4 channel & bridge 2 ch for the sub. If I need to power the rears, I'll drive them off the hu.

you can still hook up your rear speakers up to the amp as well with that setup.
