I've owned quite a few amps in my day, most of it was low $$ crap. The first real amp I bought was my PG XS2300 which powers my POS MTX sub, and does an excellent job of it! I'll be installing a Boston Pro 10 within the next week and I have no doubt that the PG will perform excellently. The XS line is their "low $$" line froma few years ago, but I gotta say it performs flawlessly!! I have a Planer Audio amp running my highs. Not bad, but a little too much background noise IMO. I;m waiting for a good deal to come up on ebay for a 4 channel PG XS amp to complete my setup. If I ever need to step up my sub amp, I will probably go to a high end PG or a Memphis class D.

I have always like soundstream. Too bad they got bought out and now produce crap. Well compared to the old stuff.
Rockford, always good for pushing subs.
Phoenix Gold, for your mids and tweets, personally. I like the clairity of them.
I have noticed no one has mentioned Clarion, Concept, or Alpine yet. (Maybe alpine but I am too lazy to go back through the posts)

I've heard good and bad about Audiobahn, but I love their subs. No experience with their amps though...
My favorite brand so far is Kenwood. Relatively cheap and sounds great! I have 2 of this amp now, the 1 was with the old box/setup.

As per my recent experience w/ several amps (Planet Audio, Alpine, JBL, Eclipse) GO PLANET AUDIO!! None of the aformentioned amps run 1 ohm exept for planet audio...the JBL says it does, but it wouldnt for me, and the Eclipse says it does, and it does fine for the sine sweeps, but not for music. The Alpine just says only 2 ohms. The Planet Audio (TT1250D) did a nice 151.6 dB on 2 Eclipse Aluminum cone subs, and the JBL did a very inpressive 148.3 dB on one Eclipse Aluminum cone sub. On order is a Planet Audio TT2250D

yeah i am happy with it, SQL is great, it hits hard, and has good sustane.
i'm thinking i should get another 500M, and then a pair of ED subs
that setup should be more than enough.

I agree... JL Audio is the best amp on the market right now. The clarity in those are amazing. My last amp was a PPI and i loved it, except it was power hungry, so my lights would dim...

i just bought my second ample audio amp. already have an a240x pushin my 12" type-r, now i got an a210x to push my crystal 3-way comps. i'll be selling off the old school (remember wires coming out of the amp instead of terminals?) rockford that ive got in there (should be able to get some decent change for it). its hard to find ample amps that people want to get rid of; most people who buy them dont want to give them up.

Lets see my favorite I have owned was my Planet Audio. I have been pleasently surprised with the ability of my current crunch which is several years old (bought it cheap from a friend). The only one I ever had a real problem with was the Alpine I had the just quit one day for no reason.

xtant is mtx
If you like Xtant but dont want to spend that much, try mtx. They are the same company. Same quality asXtant but cheaper and just as much power. Im running 2 Mtx Thunder1501's Class D mono amps,each on a Alpine Type R, and a Mtx Thunder1004 4 channel for 2 sets of MB Quart components.
