Look at the KIcker KX series like the kx600.1. And you can remove the end caps and paint them what ever color you want. They are actually made to be paintable. I just got mine in the mail the other day, and I think it looks great the way it is though. And it's supposed to be a 600x1 @2ohm amp but my birth certificate says 745watts!!! :)

O wait, you are pushing four subs or 2 subs. and you want to push mids and highs too with it? I think I read that wrong. You could still us the KX series though just get a
KX(xxx).4 and a KX600.1. 745 watts will push the hell out of 2 12's. Or four over kill, KX1200.1.. I got my KX600.1 on ebay brand new with factory warranty for 232.00 shipped. I think that was what it was. Give or take a couple bucks.

Sorry let me more clear
I need 2x 4 channel amps, 1 yellow themed, 1 blue themed.
I need 2x mono channel or dual channel amps, capable of pushing 2 l7 solobarics, will be pushing 4 subs, but in 2 seperate vehicles.
I need something with colored backlights as well, and built in cathode lighting is a plus.
For example, the audiobahn's amps are renowned for having blue backlighting (which I may go with for blue, but I still want some suggestions)
Kickers are a nice idea, but no backlights.

Audiobahn is up towards the top of the scale for bling, but buried under the scale somewhere for sound quality and build quality.

Lightning audio would be what you're looking for. Unfortunately, the different colors are different lines, so they may not be the same quality.

I have the B2.300.4 pushing 4 Infinity Reference 6002i in the doors and sail panels. Then I have the B2.300.2 pushing 2 RFP4406 subs (I have a convertible so space is limited, fabbed my own box for the hump over the axel to hold the subs). Paid about $220 for both amps after discount savings and shipping. They are great beginner amps. They do what the claim as far as RMS but you get no fancy lights and dials are not marked except for min/max values. So they take time to adjust. They do sound good and can take abuse.
I can now drive my car on the hightway with the top down and hear the stereo over the wind and road noise. There is no Bass Boost remote so I just wired the door and sail panel speakers to the front fader and the subs to the rear fader. I can use this to adjust the bass volume. I can also use the bass knob as a bass boost to put bass in or out on some songs .

To be honest, I have no experience with this amp. However, there aren't that many differences between amps. As long as you stay with relatively mainstream brands, you won't notice a difference. It may run slightly hotter than say a PG or JL, but you'd be hardpressed to notice a difference in sound.

Lightning audio makes some ok stuff. It's not going to drop your jaw, but it beats the hell out of any of the stock equipment. I'd put it in line with Sony Xplod and similar items.
Ok that gives me yellow
now I need a set of blue amps
Is audiobahn my only option? I don't really wanna spend 1000 bux on 2 amps, I know there are better brands out that will push those solobarics and speakers.

lightning audio also sells blue amps. But you could also look into avionixx, and soundstream.
