600W+ at under $200....there are no "good" amps unless you can find one on closeout.
Anyway, your selection criteria should not be based on price and wattage alone. The size of the amp, its class (digital or AB) and its features are equally important. Assuming you are looking for a sub amp, most people would want to install it behind a panel or below the trunk floor to keep the car looking stock in which case you will be forced to select a class D amp since they are small and put out very little heat. So give us more info about how you intend to use the amp and that will help narrow the search down quite a bit. |

And once you get an idea what you're looking for, be sure to check Craigslist. There are so many used amps & subs on there, it's ridiculous. You will be able to get a better quality amp for your price range if you're willing to go used.

I deleted my post because I did not read the part that you want a 3-sub combo...
What is more practical in your case is a 4-channel amp configured for 3-channel, one that is stable at 2 ohms (SWS-8) in stereo. It looks like the Alpine MRP-F600V could be your ticket, as it is relatively inexpensive and powerfull... 150W RMS for each SWS-8 at 2 ohms in stereo, and 300W RMS at 4 ohms bridged mono for your trunk dvc sub. http://cgi.ebay.com/ALPINE-MRP-F600-...3A1%7C294%3A50 Anything else in that power range will be cheapo brands or much more expensive...
