Amplifier recommendation

[Vegas WRX 10+ year member]

Looking for an all in one amp recommendation. I have ram various sundown amps in the past as well as alpine, MBA quartz, etc. but I have always run multiple amps. I have a 2013 WRX now and am looking to do something more cookie cutter design.

So I want either a 5 channel or a 3 channel, I think. I want to run a nice front stage. Either some iD components or a set of HATs. Possible something in the rear doors as well. So either 2 or 4 channels for that. Then a sub in the trunk. I have some RE *** 10s sitting around but will only run 1.

So what amps will give me 2x100 + 1x500(ish). And what amps will get me 4x100+1x500(ish)?

I would even take less power to 2 of the rear channels if need be. Or go just 2x100 if bridging multiple back channa is need to get my sub power reqs?

Thanks for any help.

A JBL GTO-5EZ with the speaker channels bridged will close to what you want, and you can run the rear speakers off the head unit. You'll need a 2 ohm load on the subwoofer channel to get 500W RMS, but it will do more than that. It's not 1 ohm stable on the sub channel. For more money you can do a JL XD or HD 5-channel, or the Alpine PDX-V9 is also good.

The power numbers look perfect, but I am iffy (uneducated) on the brand. Price sounds to good to be true.

This post is exactly what I was looking for. Options across the price spectrum. The JBL looks to be a tad low on power. Running the ID or HAT components on 75 watts sounds kind of low, but the price is nice.

The alpine looks like it might be perfect. I have had good luck with them and the price is nice, for what it does. Might even fit under my seat to get my trunk space free.

The JL is nice too, but the price is certainly up there.

Thank you so much for this!! Do you carry any of the 3 listed? I see you are a vendor. Shipping would be to Vegas. I am military, if you have any good specials //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I am also looking for components as well. 6.5" components. Something in the 100rms range.

If you carry them, can you quote me on one shipped to Vegas? Also looking for speakers for front and rear doors of my WRX. Components up front, have not checked on rears yet.
