Need a small amp

Hey guys, need some suggestions......

I've got a 2003 S'Crew, and need an Amp that will do ~50w RMS x 2 channels. I have to be able to fit it in the storage area behind the rear seats. Needless to say, it cant be physically huge.

(Its just to drive 2 Boston Acoustic FX8 door speakers)

Ideas? Recomendations?

TIA

If you want a true high end amp, check out http://www.linearpower.com. The 218 series 2 channel is rated at 50x2. It's 2.8"x4"x11". And if anything, it's underrated. You can buy this amp direct for about $180. It would make those Bostons sing.

OK.....

I went ahead and ordered the PA275 from Crutchfield. They had a good price, and fast shipping as well

The specs and size are right in the ballpark I was looking for. I think the best feature is the extrememly low heat output its widely noted for. Definitely important considering where I have to put it in a S'Crew.

I had sent an email to LinearPower about the 218 series, but they responded by not really answering my question(s). Oh well.... I hate have to ask simple question twice, so they lost out.
