Default Any comments or recommendations on these amps?

I'm in the market for a 5/6 channel amp for my whole system. I'm looking to spend $450 and below for one. I have found a few below but feel free to recommend a differernt model. I'm currently leaning towards the JL, MTX and Soundstreams.

JL Audio e6450 6ch

Kicker KX700.5 5ch

MTX Thunder 895 5ch

Phoenis Gold Octane R 9.0:5 5ch

Soundstream XTA600.5 5ch

If you go JL, don't go with the E series go with the Slash series. Just a personal opinion on that one.

I'm looking for simplicity and a stock like look. So the fewer wires and cables to run the better. I'm not looking to win sound quality competitions, just something a little cleaner and louder than stock.

Of the ones you mention: 1) Kicker, 2) JL. The MTX would be a distant 3rd. Yeah, the JL slash series amps are better than the e series, but maybe you don't want to spend more cash.
Soundstream is more looks than guts. Hifonics is generally crap. Phoenix Gold I wouldn't touch unless you're talking about one of their better amps.
