amp recommendations?

hey all. I just put Polk/MOMO 5x7's (model # MMC570) in the front and rear of my regular cab STX. They are nice for the price I paid ($130 for all 4, Circuit City was running "buy a pair, get the second pair half price", and they were discounted to begin with, and I had to drive all over north texas tracking them down so they were discounted more), I don't know if I would have shelled out $140 a pair for them or whatever they normally run. Anyways, the staging seems good, the sound separation is good, but they really come alive when i crank them, and the stock cd player is just not up to it. So. What do people recommend for a 4 channel amp? My constraints are:

It has to fit in the cab.
It should push 75-100 watts RMS/ channel
I would prefer to stay with one 4 channel amp as opposed to 2 2's
The matching Polk/MOMO C400.4 is pretty but a little pricey at $470 - i am thinking more in the $250 - $350 range.

Then the followup question to that:

what are some good mounting ideas for this cab? i would like to stay away from drilling into the sheet metal if i can.

Thanks everyone!

To get a better response to this question you might try in the amplifiers forum. But I have a Rockford Fozgate 551X 75X4 Amp and really like it.

Try running with this PG Tantrum 400.4. Sounddomain has a great price on it. Just hooked one up in a buddies truck and it sounds awesome. Check it out

Put it under your pass. seat. If you have pass. electric seats, relocate your jack to under your hood (see pictures in gallery) and mount the amp there.
Good luck.

I got a Audiobahn 6004T (4 X 75). I found a great deal on Woofersetc.com. You can't beat the price $190

thanks everyone for your recommendations, I went with the Phoenix Gold Tantrum 600.4 from SoundDomain. I liked the fact that the PG products are made in the USA, and SD was having a sale. I'll report back on quality and ease (or difficulty) of installation.
