    Go for a Kenwood eXcelon XR-5S This is what i have in my vx for the front speakers , back speakers , and for the sub in the spare tire area (still in progress ) I got it from ebay
    This one is fit perfectly under the front seat , with a capacitor , or a High Current Car Audio Power Cells

    The amp dimmensions are :
    • Width: 9-1/4” (235mm)
    • Height: 2-3/16” (55mm)
    • Depth: 7-9/16” (192mm)

    Some stuff I have picked up browsing through amps over the years is that most of the watt ratings are BS. You want RMS power not PMPO which is what many manufacturers publish on their junk. RMS is usually a lower number and is a better way to describe what is actually going on. PMPO is there to sell amps to people who don't know any better. If it doesn't say which it is then nine times out of ten it's PMPO they're listing. Also, generally amps are set up along two lines, the first is to power your normal midrange speakers (usually two to four outputs) while the other type is for pushing subs only and is rated for quite a bit of power out of one output. It is also generally accepted that it is advisable to overpower your speakers rather than under power them. Hope this helps, I'm by no means a guru, but maybe it will point you in the right direction. It's also important to match up your ohm ratings, if I recall, they run either 2 or 4 typically.
    The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on me.
