Help choosing sq amp on a budget

[wkndracr 10+ year member]

I/m currently running an old school Soundstream Reference 705s in my Mini Cooper, but lately the channels are starting to drop out and i'm tired of dealing with it, so i've decided to just replace it altogether. Even tho I work at a shop I'm not even sure what's good anymore since most of my time is spent at dealerships doing remote starts and boring stuff like that.

I can get JL and alpine stuff at cost, but that's a bit more money than what I want to spend right now. Are the low end JL amps any good? All I need is something to run my components and a JL stealthbox witha 10w3. The soundstream is 75x4 + 250x1, so I would like something close to that, but I don't necessarily need a 5 channel. I would be fine running my rear fill off my head unit.

Just looking for something comparable to my Soundstream, without mreaking the bank, something i can find used for relatively cheap. I 've seen ARC Audio mentioned a few times on this forum, but don't know much about them. Could that be a replacement for my soundstream? TIA for any help.

Arc audio has a ks 300.4 4 channel amp and a ks 900.6 6 channel amp. I recommend arc amps to everybody, I'm gettin 3 myself ( 2 ks 1000.1's and 1 ks 300.4) I know someone who can get them for you, a little above cost and with warranty) pm me if your interested and I'll get you in contact with them.
