Which 5 Channel is next?

Shinju how about the Twister amp over on DIYMA? Its a 6 channel, but could work.

That amp is a nice piece.

It is. Id have to run it at 6 ohms on the sub channels though.

Bump for more help. Im really on the fence here.

A new requirement to toss into the mix. Cant be longer than 22 1/2" wide at the longest point.

I have a Boston GT amp and I love it! That fan cooling is great and allows me to put it ANYWHERE and the SQ is great as well. Ofcourse mine is a slightly older model but I've also played around with the new GT amps and I was just as impressed. If it were me, I'd get the Boston or the Infinity (just to try the class d 5 channel idea)

I know it doesn't have quite enough power on the sub channel(not rated, at least), but the Eclipse PA5532 is a clean amp, and you can probably grab one for half of what your budget is(pst, there's one on ebay right now).

Ive had old school Eclipse already. I had the EA3532. I was looking for another for a while, but couldnt find one. I found one on eBay a few days ago for $100 shipped BNIB, but couldnt get the money together to buy it.

I think Im going in a different direction. Im going for the Audio Systems Twister 6 channel. From what Ive read its made by Masconi. It wont do what I need for power on the sub channel, but thats not such a bad thing contrary to popular belief.

There one of those ea 5 channels on ebay right now, I believe. Eclipse amps are going crazy cheap on there right now. I just grabbed the 4x85 Premium series amp for $85 shipped. I'm thinking about going all old school Premium amps on my new install. The guy I got the four channel from had the matching 2 channel, but they ended like right at the same time and I missed out. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

my vote's rubicon personally. Soundstream usually makes quality products, except for those picasso's a couple years back.

ID ain't done for yet lol but the way things are going i'd be surpised if it wasn't soon to be. i've heard some ppl say they got cheap stuff from sonix with the make an offer thing. now for wat it's worth the ID and PB have the same board but the ID has more heat sink. so imo it's a better build.

how do you know id and pb have the same board?
