469.00 is wayy too much for the Pioneer 4 channel, it is a good amp though.
The Excelon is a good amp but the price is not worth it (******** outragous actually) , it costs more because it has some extra features built into it (that you don't need) and there is an Excelon badge on it.
The Kenwood KAC-8402 puts out 60watts x4 RMS and costs a lot less then the Pioneer and will perform just as good, you should be able to get one brand new for well under 300 dollars.

I was wondering about that price. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif
Canadian dollars are pretty close to Austrailian dollars, go find a Kenwood 8402, it will do what you need for a good price.
Up north here all Pioneer and Kenwood Excelon amps are overpriced, its mostly just dealer markup, dealers markup products based on percieved value. Dealers will charge different prices based on what they think you will pay, it sucks but its just the way it is.
The Canadian dealer cost for the KAC-8402 is 200 dollars so after dealer markup the price goes from 349 to 400 dollars, this price is not written in stone, if you dicker with them a bit you can get the price reduced to around 300.
For comparison purposes the Kenwood Excelon X521 and the Kenwood 7252 have the exact same power output capabilities, the only difference is that the 521 has digital sound shaping options and AMS (you can get a cable to connect the amp to an Excelon HU and control the amp functions from the HU), These extra funtions are unecessary and only drive up the price.
