Eclipse Amps

 

Chippa
Any comments or opinions on Eclipse 4-channel amps?? I have the Eclipse 36401 (50Wx4) currently and it sounds very good. I may be looking to upgrade in the near future, mainly because I'm never satisfied, lol. But anyways, should I stick with Eclipse or are they other amps that sound way better, that I might not know about. Eclipse and Power Acoustik(not good) are the only 4-ch amps I've had in my car. I've never really heard any others. What are some good Quality 4-ch amps??? Im looking to stay in the $300 range.

Any help. please???????????
 

eclipse is probably the cleanest you'll get for mids and highs, just make sure your fedding them a solid 8 volt preout from either an eclipse head unit, or I ran mine through an audio control line driver. If the amp "sees" 8 volts or something close in the RCA's, then you will be impressed, and probaly is unmatched in clarity- so just invest that $300 in an audio control dsp equalizer or somthing similar, after that, you'll have competition ready mids and highs. check www.audiocontrol.com
 

Eclipse makes very good amplifiers, utilizing dual toroidal transformers. Good build quality.
If you want alternatives:
JL Audio 300/4
Kicker KX300.4
Sinfoni AMPLItude 120.4x
Zapco (zapco dot com) several models

MY MAIN CONCERN IS GETTING FULL POWER OUT OF THE AMP WITHOUT FRYING IT. I'LL EITHER ADD OR SUBTRACT SUBS TO GET THE PROPER OHM LOAD I ALREADY HAVE A POWER-LINE 250 AMP ALTERNATOR 2 1-FARAD CAPS AND A YELLOW TOP BATTERY.I'VE ALSO GOT 4-GUAGE RAN TO THE TRUNK.IS THIS NOT ENOUGH?

use 4 of the 12" subs, if they are 4 Ohms per coil.
wire the coils in parallel to get four 2 Ohm subs.
place two subs in parallel on each channel of the 2100HCCA.
that'll be a stereo 1 Ohm load, which is the max for that amplifier.
great amp by the way.

200wRMS x 2 @ 2 Ohms Stereo @ 12VDC
400wRMS x 2 @ 1 Ohm Stereo @ 12VDC
