Amp Needed with Smallest Footprint

Hey guys, looking for 2/3 amps which have the smallest physical footprint, but can run two sets of 5.25 mid/tw combo and a single 10". Any recommends. Print range for all amps is max of 1200.00 give or take.

Running all focal utopia. 4 - door sedan
11" sub - 45L vented box
5.25 mid/tw - 2 sets - front and rear doors
Electronics - Orion DEQ-30 and Audio control DQX

Most important thing is clean/efficient power, small footprint and sub amp must have some sack.

Take a look at the Memphis amps. Great performers and small footprints.

Alpine PDX 4.150.... almost the same size as an 8x11 piece of paper and has tons of power!

look into a 5channel, these reduce wire bulk and mess, and will definitely take less space than 3 smaller amps together. JL, Kicker, Infinity, JBL, etc... all make good ones as well as Memphis and Alpine to name a few more.

Sorry, running all focal utopia. 4 - door sedan
11" sub - 45L vented box
5.25 mid/tw - 2 sets - front and rear doors

I saw the PDX, but not sure of SQ comming from a digital amp> any reviews out there of these new amps?

I would also consider a 5 channel amp. The new Focal amps are due to land any day. The 5 channel is rated at 75w x 4 and 200w x 1 all into 4 ohm. Measures 2" x 20" x 11", not a super small amp but less size than two comparable amps. A second choice would be the Audison LRX5.600, a little less powerful at 60w x 4 and 180w x 1 but it has proven to be a great 5 channel amp for my customers. It will be a smaller amp as compared to the new Focal amp. I saw one of the new DD amps today that also were a small chassis. Concept HC series of amps have also proven their worth. Might be another amp to look at as well.
