Best 4 channel amp for the price

Bronze Member Username: MarcoooPost Number: 76 Registered: Mar-07 | Sundown SAX-100.4 for 350 (160w rms) Kicker SX900.4/SX700.4 for 435/325 Kicker ZX850.4/650.4 for 265/185 Also found a Kicker SX650.4 for 200 new, 04 model I think. The Kicker ZX's are refurbished btw. For my components I'm either getting Diamond Audio S600S or Image Dynamics XS-69/CXS-65 RMS 170/150/150 respectively. I'd rather save up and get an amp with a higher rms than my speakers so there's no clipping and I don't want to work it too hard. I'd get a Kicker ZX850.4 without a second thought, if it wasn't for me having one and soon to be two SAZ-1500D's. I love that amp and want to stick with Sundown, but I also want to give my speakers all the watts they can take rms without the amp clipping/ there being distortion. So what would you guys do? And of course any other amps you find for me I'll glady consider  |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 4460 Registered: Jul-06 | Mark are you planning to bridge the amp to 2 channels to run your components? You're probably having the same problem I did, couldn't find a 2 channel amp powerful enough. |

Bronze Member Username: MarcoooPost Number: 81 Registered: Mar-07 | Well I was thinking of gettting one set of comps for the front and bridging my amp and then if I decide to get another set for the back I can run my amp at 2 ohm and still get most of the power from the speakers. Right now I'm pretty set on the Diamonds and the Sundown amp (just because I'll already have 2 SAZ-1500Ds lol), but IDK know how the Sundown's SQ is compared to Kicker's. I know for mono amps it doesn't matter, but I heard it does for speaker amps? |

Bronze Member Username: MarcoooPost Number: 82 Registered: Mar-07 | OT, but I was really curious if there was a stereo or multi channel amp that could be run at 1 ohm (stable or if anyones ever tried it on a 2 ohm amp). Never heard of one, but if mono amps can get down to .175 ohm why not 1 ohm for speaker amps lol. |
