Recommend a 5 channel amp?

I'm looking for a good 5 channel amp that will run the front and rear speakers and also a 10" Rockford P3 sub. There are so many amp choices out there and I'm just looking for some recommendations.

I was looking at this one, the price is right!

These are bit more expensive, but I would highly recommend JL 500/5 or a Memphis Belle. Both sounds very clean.
If you want cheaper amp, look for MTX Thunder 895, or older Thunder 405. They are way cheaper, but sound/build quality is fine.

Elemental Designs just came out with one that looks pretty nice - probably too much for what you're looking for though..

Nice. For $600 it would be interesting to compare it in SQ terms to JL 500/5. I bet class AB sub channel at 1 ohm 600W will make it run hot as hell.
