Which Soundstream Amp Selection, Please Help!!!!

[SoLice]

OK, I am down to two amps for my 4 channel amp to power my Sounstream Exact 6.3

1. Soundstream Picasso PIC4.880 (110W x 4)

or

2. Soundstream Rubicon II RUB4-600 (80W x 4)

I think the power rating for the Picasso is more but Rubicon II is suppose to be a class above Picasso...

Could anyone please tell what make Rubicon II better?

Thanks in advance

Durability-wise or otherwise?

Cool, since they are only like 100 dollar difference I think I will get that then....

My setup is as follow:

Soundstream Exact 6.3 Front Component

Soundstream SST 6.5 for Rear Fill

Soundstream Rubicon II RUB600-4

For now

Kenwood 819 Mono Amp

Bazook 2x8 Bass Tube

I will probably end up getting Kicker 8L7 power by Kicker 600.1 later on...

I have a G35 Coupe, the trunk is really really small...

I have a couple of installers' opinions on the box lcoation, obviously I can put the box towards the back of the trunk or placeing it in the spare tire location, however I would like to put a box at the back of the seats... where I can fit my golf clubs in there too...

It seems like the 8L7 box might fit... I am not sure yet, I am going to measure it this weekend....

im runnin a RUB500-1 to my ed15k and i couldn't be happier with it, awsome features and nice clean power, not to mention looks real clean too.

Well for the time being, I will stick with my bazooka... I know it is not the best... but at least I have some bass with a min. space....

BTW, the bazooka is one of those with 2 8" in them... it is double the size of a normal....

Any other opinions?
