Alpine MRD-M605, had my L5 on one and it slammed. Or you can get an Alpine PDX 1.600. Does the same power at 4 or 2 ohms (600rms)

visonik sux balz

so I guess out of those ( your only choice is the soundstream)

I'd stil lrecommened this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ROCKFORD-FOSGATE-300W-2-CH-T3002-AMPLIFIER-5FRT3002_W0QQitemZ250279240633QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item250279240633&_trkparms=39%3A1%7C66%3A1%7C65%3A15&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14.l1318

puts out about 800 RMS @ 2 ohms

bass boost knob

stays cool

BD topology

147 bucks!

Nearly new

I ordered over 6 items already

plus hifiaudio has a great customer support & staff

for under 150 bucks (over 800 RMS)

can't go wrong

amps got 2 40a fuses

all them pop out more power then my fosgate p600.1bd @ 2 ohms (birthsheet 794 rms @ 2 ohms)

beast of an amp, beast of a price@!
