Default Best amp for me?

Hey guys, I've been reading up on amps and I can't make up my mind. I have 1 12" sony sub right now, a piece of crap that I'm using until I can get my alpine type r sub. I have a kicker 400.1zx amp going to that right now and it sounds pretty good. I just installed an alpine spr-60c component set that takes 100w rms, and I'm wondering what the best amp is to use. Should I go with a little 2 channel amp (and if so, which one) or something like the pdx-5? Can you guys give me some suggestions?

PDX 5 takes my vote all day.

Or the new replacement PDX-V9

I saw that one and like it alot, if only it wasn't so damned expensive. Best price I can find is like $430.

Anyone want to buy a used kicker 400.1zx for $450 shipped?

Thanks for the advice guys, I know I can always count on big for some sage advice.

In case I decide to go cheaper, are there any inexpensive 2 channel amps that would be good for just the components?

The JL 700/5 gets my vote. It rocks my Hertz components and JL TW5.
