Default What kind of Amp should i run?

I'm looking for any opinions and previous experience with different makes and model amps and which are good and which aren't. I'm planning to run 2 amps. For sub i pretty sure I will be running a 10W6V2 JL Audio. Speakers i am not too terribly sure what i will run, need to listen to a few more, but really like the sound and quality of the Boston Pro60s or the Diamond Audios. Amps are the only area i'm not totally sure on where to go. I would like to run the same brand for both amps, but i am still trying to figure out what to go with. Would run 1 amp if there was a feasible option. I have been looking at the JL Audio, Diamond Audio and more recently the Alphasoniks. If anyone had any has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated.

Check the FAQ -- pretty much all the good ones are listed.

I'm really loving Soundstream right now and wouldn't hesitate to recommend any of the Van Goghs or Tarantulas. I have a TR 700/2 for my subs. Try discountjungle.net for good prices. My speaker amp is PPI but their new stuff is garbage and should be avoided at all costs

the JL 300.4 is a pretty hot amp for highs in my opinion

Personally, I would just get a 4 channel and bridge the rear 2 channels for the subwoofer. Some fellow ran a JL 500.5 for his highs and his jl10w6v2.

JL amps are fine but there's better for significantly less money. Try the VGA 320.4, for instance: http://discountjungle.net/sostvg4chcar1.html
