If money are no concern, the JL Audio HD series are some of the best at any price. Good SQ and power. These are often used in SQ competitions. Also Alpine PDX series. With a lower budget, look for Alpine MRX series. Those are nice little amps. Kind of like PDX, but with less power. If you want something really cheap, see if you can still find MB Quart REF4.80. It's a fantastic little amp. I have seen a review showing little noise, little THD, good channel separation and rms power of 4x110watts (up from rated 4x80). The only issue is that this thing runs pretty hot. The airflow around heatsink should not be obstructed.

I cant stand the HDs. I demoed multible installs and never could get a feel for them. The only class D full range I liked was the ZED, and it still wanst as alive as A/B. The HDs sounded OK on a set of C5s, C5s are dull to begin with so it was fine

Or get one of these imediately. You won't find anything cleaner than Eclipse.

Same dude?

This one is under rated. It's not a TON of power, but it's the cleanest amp I've ever owned.

Yeah that was the same dude... These Eclipses seem pretty nice... I don't care how it looks because it's going in the center console. I'd take a beat up looking one...

That Alpine seems promising also. I don't mind spending 225 but getting a used clean amp for 150.00 is even better...

Thank you for the links. I think I'd need something relatively normal sized. It's going in my center console to replace the ish stock Bose amp in my escalade

Not sure whether it'd fit the bill but there's a few MB Quart RAA series on ebay. Also, Diamond makes impressive amps. D7 beast //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif

I love my little PPi phantom 900.4. Lots of clean power. Nice price and it's freaking tiny. I mean, tiny. And it's an old school name with new school tech. Active capable crossovers too.

Now this PP seems right up my alley... Tiny!!!!

WTF is up with those fuses... Jus sayin... ???

I wouldn't claim that PPI amplifiers are high end, but they are among the best bang of buck amplifiers. Want something dirt cheap? Check out PPI Sedona amplifiers. Want an affordable honest to god Class A/B amplification for a reasonable price? Look at PPI Power Class. Want a supersmall, well built, super-efficient, high power Class D amp for about $200? Check the PPI Phantom amps. I got the Phantom P900.4 right now, and I am thinking of adding a P600.2 or P1000.1. They provide rated power honestly, run cool, and take little space. As if this was not enough PPI added a new line called "Black Ice". These are based off Soundstream Ref board design.

I randomly picked up a Lanzar Vibe 430 (older black ones) for like $40 used and sound quality-wise it ran circles around the Rockford P4004 that I replaced it with. Definitely an underdog... dat midbass man, unbelievably tight and clean.

Had good results with a Cadence SQA4100 but again the Vibe 430 sounded better.
