I have a customer here that has a 98 TJ Sahara Jeep and wants to have a 4 channel for his fronts so I offered a 5 channel setup and was just wondering what is the best one, I know alpine and concept make one but the alpine is too big and the concept doesn't put out enuf power for his sub any ideas???

^^^ I have a 92 Yj and have had amps under my seat for years, the main place that my truck leaks is in the back, where the sub box is.

Defro, what other 5 ch amps have you tried and what made the kx700.5 stand out? I'm going to do a budget install and my choices are between a kx700.5 and a Hifonics zx8000, so I'm interested in your thoughts on the Kicker.

Older MTX 5 channels are going for a decent price these days, like the Thunder 405. I used one once, nice amp, it had noise issues though. Also used the Blue Thunder 5 channel, nice one. Probably not a common issue with that line of amps, as I have used the 250D, 4250D, and a Thunder 302 without any issues.
