need help picking amps?

ok so i need 3 amps.. yes 3 i know i only need two but i want 3

i need an amp for the frotn speakers
an amp for the back speakers

and an amp for a set up 12" subs int he trunk

I am goign for a show look so i want 3 to even it out.

I want to stay with phoenix gold.. or kenwood.
but there are so many on ebay

budget for speaker amps is 140 dollars per amp.

& 300 dollars for the ampf or my subs. i believe I'm going with the hgih end audiobon 12" subs. so i need a good powerfull amp for them. the speakers wont require much more the 200watts rms each.

please help.. ebay.ca links = teh best
but any info would help.

I know you said you want 3 but sometimes you can get more out of less. Now on the other hand you said for show so why not go "t-class" amps or run all "d-class" amps for everything for the power and look.

Say MA audio, Cadence, Ample Audio etc.

you dont wanna run class d amps on interior speakers, and i have 3 polk amps only 2 of them are on ebay the other one i still am selling. you can still use radio power on the rears just for rear fill. i liked these amps because the amps were all the same size and if you want you can make it look like on huge amp by taking of the endcaps.

theres a pic of the amps all together
