opinions on amp selection

[belbo 10+ year member]

I need a new amp setup for my car and I'm kinda bored tonight so i thought I would see if anyone had suggestions. The components are rainbow CMX's, sub is undecided but plan on giving one 1K w give or take. I've been looking around a while and want something that will look as classy in my car as it sounds. The 3 candidates with specs and looks I like so far are: Arc xxk 2500 (hard to find 2 pristine ones so far), Alpine PDX 4.150 and 1.1000 (very cool but pricy) and Sundown SAX 100.4 and SAZ 1000D (I like the clean and simple looks and the price is attractive).

Leave opinions or add another suggestion with similar specs.

JL slash series amps, xtant 2channel/monoblock combo, jbl bpx series amps are all good choices. My pick would be the rockford power series amps. a t400-2 and t1500-1bd would be a great combo IMO

Thanks for the suggestions, I never was much for JL amps and I want more than 120 x 2 channels that the T400-2 has but I will check the rest out.

the birthsheet on mine had them going at 156wrmsx2 @4ohm. amps are tanks too, ran it at 1ohm mono with no problems
