Amp Choices

Looking for a 2 channel amp to power some diamond audio s500s around $200 give or take.

At the moment these are my options, open to any other suggestions too.

- Jl 300/2 $259 150 x2 @ 4 ohms

- Diamond Audio D5600.2 ($250) 150 x 2 @ 4 ohms

- Kicker 350.4 will bridge (remanufactured $76) 175 x 2 @ 4 ohms

Been eyeballing the kicker because it will save a good amount of money but was wondering if i should fork out some more for one of the other 2.

If you guys could lend me your opinion i would appreciate it, thanks!

that's a good amp. Setting gains perfectly would be easier with a 2 channel but nothing wrong with the 4 channel!

The ebay link i gave you does 150x2@4 and is same price, but its not new
