Recommend good NEW two channel automobile power amp?

Amendment to my car speaker thread.

It was highly recommended I add a power amp to get better sound out of the new (MB Quart 6.5" coaxil).

I have a pending sale of an old spoon for $100 and I want to use those funds for the new power amp (emphasis on new, not a big fan of buying old electronics, have had bad experiences)

I was targeting this soundstream, recommended by audio guys... however now I get "OH wait, the new soundstreams are no were as good as the old ones!!!"

Amazon.com: Soundstream TX4.440 4 Channel Amplifier: Car Electronics

Really like the look and spec of this JL, the price... not so much (yeah, I'm cheap).

Amazon.com: JX360/4 - JL Audio 4-Channel 360W Class A/B Amplifier: Car Electronics

Pioneer (I know, no where near as esoteric)?

Amazon.com: Pioneer GM-6500F 4-Channel Bridgeable Amplifier: Car Electronics

Keep in mind this is going into a $4000 Miata, as much as I would like a $5000 amp it would not really be practical in this car.

I'm leaning toward the Soundstream even though "it is not as good as the older models"

Thanks!
Scott
