do they make any amps 600wrms+

It's good stuff. I've got one of the 4 x 100 WRMS ones, and it goes alright... :) I'm happy with it anyway.

And i'm looking at one of the monoblocks soon...

Response: Cheap doesn't necessarily mean nasty with these.
The monoblock is very competitively priced. A decent 1x800W Mono should cost $800plus.

The new range of amps are good, although the new range of speakers (especially the new 'Kevlar" splits) have taken a bit of a bagging.

Just for price comparisons, my JL 500.1 (ex-Megatron) amp is rated at 500W but does closer to 630W with decent power supply (wiring, maybe a cap!). It's RRP is $1089 and I can get it new for $990 without any problem, possibly cheaper if you shop around a it more.
