Need 4 channel amp with 100W+/ch @ 4ohms

Anyone know of any 4 channel amps that can put out more than 100W RMS per channel @ 4 ohms? Possibly in the 150W range.

I've come across Kicker ZX650.4 and ZX850.4 but their physical size may be a bit of a problem.

I was also looking at the MB Quart DSC4125 which is rated at 125W per channel, which size wise is the same as what I have now (9.45" x 2.7" x 15.75") but the frequency response I am seeing on websites is either wrong or this is not a full range amps.

I'm looking for a good sounding but powerful SQL amp.

Looks like price is starting to factor in as well...

I already saw that Alpine, and thought it would go great with the rest of my setup, but the price tag was a little steep, as well as that JL.

Couldn't find pricing for the Eclipse because most websites I went to say it's out of stock and discontinued, and the Cadence is physically too big, just like the Kicker.

The Eclipse is like finding gold, not going to happen any time soon and if you do, I want it first. I will look around later today for you to see what I can come up with. Infinity Ref7541A comes to mind as a basic amp that would do the job. Would you consider a pair of 2 channels? I have the Eclipse XA2000 (150w rms x 2 ICEpower class D) on sale right now.

Well right now, I have the JBL GTO75.4 II, which is the exact same thing as the Infinity Ref7541A just under another brand, but the rear right channel has some weird static in it at random. Sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not.

The Alpine Type-R coaxials I just put in the other day didn't fix the static, so it's got to be the amp, but they also need more juice than what I had in there before.

I have limited room as it is, so I can't put in a pair of amps. I need to find a same size drop-in repalcement for the amp I have now but with a little more juice.

The new eclipse is the xa4200 model.
Not particularly small, it is the biggest phisically of all the 4 channel full range class D's. But also the most power full when bridged or at 2ohms.

I have one of them in stock right now as well now that I think about it. Might as well give you a deal on it.

Eclipse XA4200, brought it in for a guy and he ended up going with something different.

That amp would definitely fit the bill, I just don't know too much about those D-Class full range amps. Still a bit of a mystery to me, since we've always been told for years that they're only for subs.

I notice it is CEA-2006 rated too. Would you say it's underrated or as listed?

How does it compare to the MB Quart DSC4125 specifically?

They're both rated at 125W, but which may actually deliver more?
i.e. Is there a catch and one is rated at 125W at less than 14.4V?

And which would sound better quality wise?
