go with a 2 or 4 channel amp.
Good amps: JL, JBL, Kicker, Alpine, Infinity, Polk, Sound Stream, Boston Acoustic, Phoenix, Rockford, Hifonics. Just off the top of my head, but there's a few more out there.

I know Alpine's got these new digital amplifiers (the PDX series) and they're supposed to kick ***, but I don't know from personal experience. They are a little expensive, though. I'd say go for a four-channel amp and hook all your speakers up through it, then a mono amp for your sub (if you have one).
yea my subs already run off an amp. its juts i got a quote for an install and amp for my speakers yesterday and they said would be 460 bucks. so i just wanna buy the amp and have someone install it for me.
so i need a 4 channel amp?
how many watts? im guessing 400 cause each one of my speakers can handle 100RMS?

you want an amp that can give each speaker AT LEAST 1/2 its max rms wattage. i would suggest 4 channel amp for 4 speakers. Alpine is a really good brand for amps. I've had my 240 for over 3 yrs, its been through alot including a big accident where it hit the seats and had the cables pulled and bent. still going strong.

I would say the Visonik amp you linked to would be a good amp, as far as all the specs go, but sometimes cheap amps (as far as quality goes--I don't know if this brand is one of those) won't work as well as a good one and will end up providing crappy sound at high levels.

if ur goin alpine, I have an MRV-F540, I believe thats the model #, its 100Wx4 RMS @ 14.4 I think its 80w RMS @ 12.2 or something... I love it, great quality amp.. but it is a bit pricey.
