5 channel recommendation.

[SCIVIC94 10+ year member]

looking for some input on a new amplifier purchase. It has been a few years since i have needed to puchase a new amp. looking for a 5channel that can nicely power a set of 5.25 components ,a set of 6x9's and 2 8" subs. need around 75x4 rms @ 4 ohm and 600 rms x1 @1ohm. Can be a little more power and just dial back if need to.

was looking at these 3 to start and am open to other options. trying to stay under 500 if doable.

Sundown sae-1100.5

Massive Audio ex5

Soundstream T5.2500DL

not sure who still makes a good product anymore or who has improved their quality. thank you for the help

I have an inexpensive option for you. About to sell a barely used NVX 900.5

They test out around 95x4 (4 ohms) and 450x1 (2 ohms).

$150 shipped.

Had a friend with the Sundown and is very pleased with it.

If your looking for nice clean sound quality I have an old school Memphis Belle 6 ch ..made like the Soundstreams that is 75x4 and 150x2 that will bridge to 600+ at 4 ohm or 300x2 @ 2 good clean class AB sound not that garbage D class

i shot a message off tho nvx. they dont seem to be rated to run a 1ohm load on the sub channel.

pm me some pics and price. was hoping to keep it a little more compact. even second,third and forth jem beeles were still huge. if i go used amp will need to be dead mint. going in a station wagon and will be out in open and seen.

It’s pretty nice but i won’t be where it’s at till at least tomorrow evening...the one on eBay for $499 is about the same condition as mine except mine may be a little nicer

the E.D. nine.5 would be nice if a mint one popped up.

It's going to be very hard finding a 5 channel with a 1 ohm stable sub channel

I know of one (but only one), but it is a bit pricey.

Yep, that's going to be a hard find.

are they that hard to find. seemed to be pretty easy. i found those three above fairly quickly. apparently finding someone who has used any of them of other similiar power level of those 5 channels is the hard part.
