There isn't one.

This is about as close as I think you'll get:

This amp will do a good enough job powering a pair of coaxes or component speakers. It won't get subs very loud.

Here's a clarion for under a hundred bucks that looks like it might be comparable to that Kenwood:

There are plenty of chinese made amps out there for under a hundred bucks that claim to produce far more wattage than these, but they're all total crap.

try power acoustik. A 620 watt plasma sphere amp will run you about 97 with shipping on ebay. they are 150w x2 rms@4 ohms and 180w x2 rms@2 ohms. And the lightning sphere adds a nice lil touch when you mount it where it can be seen.
