need suggestions on a good powerful 5 or 6 channel amp

i currently have a mtx jackhammer jh805 but i need something better. what would you guys recommend for a more powerful and better 5 or 6 channel amp. its powering mb quart 2 way components for fronts and rear and a 12" shallow mount pionner sub. preferablly an amp thats 2ohm stable.

I recently picked up a Massive Audio NX5 (http://www.massiveaudio.com/store/pr...roductid=16246) from this guy - http://www.diymobileaudio.com/forum/...-speakers.html.
I have it bridged powering my HAT Clarus' in the front and the sub channel powering 2 Stereo Integrity shallow 12's.
I like it alot.

why not bridge the 4 channels to deliver 150x2 to the front comps and 500x1 at 2ohms to the sub (I assume your sub can be run at 2 ohms since you asked for 2 ohm stability). You can then get a small 40 or 50x2 amp for the rear speakers or run them off the deck.

the thing is i dont want to run anything more than one amp. space is limited in my trunk and want both front and rear stage to be amplified. not just the fronts and the sub. so far this is my 3rd 5 channel amp and im still not satisfied....

I second the Massive Audio NX5. If you're concerned about space it's really good power in a really small space. It's 1 ohm stable on sub channel which means lack of power at 2 ohm though.
