Second on the PDX, guaranteed to do advertised power if not more. You could also get a 1.600 pdx amp that will put out 600w rms at 4 ohms or 2. Extra power is never a bad thing when tuned properly, it is when you want a little extra and don't have the power for it that things start breaking or sounding like a$$. Best part is that the 600w amp is the same exact size as the 2.150 amp. I am going to run two of these myself in my upcoming truck system.

i'll have to double check but my zapco 500.1 (rated at 500wrms..will be fine for your application) may fit within your space requirements. i know it'll fit vertically in the side cubby hole.

not sure how much of a fan of Sony you are but they just released their new slim line amps. Not very strong but worth a look.
