Default Need help deciding on an amp

Ok so here is my setup.

Alpine CDA-9855
Boston Acoustic Pro60's 125 RMS
JBL GTO 927 100 RMS
Infinty 7541a AMP 111rms x4


I want to add a JL 10w7. Problem is I dont want to add a second amp so I'm planning on getting a 5ch amp. Accoring to JL's website optimum rms range would be 375 watts. The only amp that I can find that is 5ch and 375 watts is the new Boston Acoustics GT5750. It is also 70RMS x4. Are there any other amps out there that are good. I was looking at the JL 500/5 which is 100RMSx2 25RMSx2 and 250x1 Problem is the rear are 100RMS and the AMP only pushes 25RMS and the 10w7 says 250 is minimum.If I were to go with the JL will low watts to the rear and sub affect them?

Here are a few I have been considering. If you know of any others that may better suite me please let me know.
Boston Acoustic GT5750 Signal to Noise 100DB
JL Audio 500/5 Signal to Noise 108.5DB
Alpine PDX-5 <----- I did'nt like the Signal to Noise Rating of 77DB
Polk Audio PA1100.5 Signal to Noise 98DB


So Eletrionic Gurus HELP!!!!!

Why don't you wait until end of this month/next month for the JL HD 900/5. It basically combines a JL 300/4 and a 500/1 into one tiny amp. It's the same size as all the other HD amps, which makes it perfect for the S2K. With that, you can do the 10W7 without a problem.

I can't wait for it to release, as it solves the same problem you are having with choosing an amp. Only downside is its $$$, especially since it's from JL, but with the space saved, its well worth it.

I've been in contact with Manville over at JL, and he says MSRP is $1099. Street price will prob be around 950-1000.
