I'm looking to replace my amp in my 03 S Type this week and I was wondering what would be the best amp to replace it with? I've sent out PM's and have contacted locals for both JL 500/1 and 1000/1 amplifiers. I had a previous 500/1 that was on there before, but I was considering moving up to either a 750/1 or the 1000/1. But I just wanted to ask to make sure because 1000/1 kinda hit pretty high up on the recommended power scale. I'm concerned that the 1000/1 may end up shortening the life of my setup so I thought I'd ask first. Bear in mind that my car sees a lot of highway miles, so I want something that can survive the 8 - 12 long drives without risking overheating or blowing anything. I'm not a big car audio person so I don't know for sure, I just got my JL setup for a good deal from a friend- but I wanted something that's going to make some noise when I'm out on the road.

I'm running those in my pickup. There's no real "best amp" answer. You want something with really low THD, and 100-150w RMS per channel.
