So, I decided to get a 5 channel amp. I think it would be better for my setup since there are not many options on a bridged 2 ohm stable. And it makes no sense to buy a mono amp for the sub and a 2 channel amp for the speakers. Do you guys know of any good 5 channel amps?
Thanks

So you have a kick ass sub and components... I'd suggest two different amps (mono and 4 channel). The JL HD class amps are pretty nice and efficient; however, there was a recall some of the HD750s so make sure to be careful where you buy from.

A 4 channel amp can be used "bi-amped" with the components. 2 channels for the woofers and 2 channels for the tweeters.
It can also be used in what's called an "active" setup where the head unit handles the crossover settings.

I think I'm going to get a mono and a 2 channel amp.
- JL audio 300/2 for components
- JL audio 500/1 for subwoofer
Do you guys know any amps better than the ones I listed in the same price range?
thanks

Ive had really good luck with my Mono MTX amp. I bought it 5 years ago and have never had a problem with it what-so-ever.
HERE is a similar one. I actually purchased mine from crutchfield but you can just find the cheapest place.

If you want to stick with your original bridging plan, Boston GT-series amps
are 2-ohm stable bridged.
The Boston Acoustics GT-475 may or may not be powerful enough for you; if
not the GT-4100 has a little more zing at 100x2 @ 4-ohms + 450x1 @ 2-ohms
are 2-ohm stable bridged.
