Looking for a 2 channel amp

[Notorious97200 339]

Hi,

I am selling my 4 channels Boston amp. I can make a good deal with it, and I don't use rear speakers no more !

I need a small (in size) 2 ch amp to power my Focal 165 KP.

I need about 2 * 100 watts rms or even less, and my head unit is good enough, so I don't need lots of features on the amp.

The problem is the budget : I want a really cheap amp! But I want a brand new one.

The Sundown 125.2 would be good, and would match the sub amp (a saz1000), but I would like it cheaper.

I saw a Cadence Xa 175.2 xenith series at Powermax electronics, it looks good !

There is an entry level Rockford the R 300-4 (I could bridge it) that seems good too.(Powermax electronics)

One point is really important as I live in the Caribbeans, I want something reliable, and that don't suffer from high temperatures !

What do you think?

What would you do ?

Cheap, good, and new. Hmm. Pick 2.

[Notorious97200 339]

Take the Cadence? Why not?

I've never used Cadence, but I can try.

It's a pitty I can't buy it on the ssa shop !

But they look serious at Powermax.

23 views, one answer ?!!

I should have made a poll!

You haven't picked your two yet. There is no way around this compromise.

[Notorious97200 339]

The Cadence is no more available.

I have to look for another one !

I will have to take the Sundown. I should have bought it during the sales, I just took the saz 1000.

I couln not buy both! What a pitty!!!

Maybe I will save some more money!

What other choices can you give me M5 , or others?

get a 50.4 and bridge it

get a 50.4 and bridge it

It is the same price. Why would I do that?

I don't understand the advantage of doing so.

I will take the Sundown 125.2 as soon as I get the money. It may be very soon, I hope so !!!

For the first time in my car audio life, I will have 2 amps with the same brand, same look!

50.4 is only 200 shipped vs the 125.2 at 240 plus shipping

Here is the link

great price!

Thanks

I did not see it!

I've just ask Sundown, on their forum, what they think about it for my front speakers.

I wanted to know if this offer is still available.

Just bridge your Boston amp to the front. My 4ch is bridged and I have 225w going to 125w rated comps and they love it.

I can sell my Boston at a very very good price (I need some cash).

And my comps can only handle 80 watts rms. So 225 gives me too much headroom!!!

[///M5 2,833]

Too much headroom is an oxymoron.

Again if you want other options you need to pick 2. No way around "Sean's Iron Law" on that one.

[Notorious97200 339]

Finally I decided to take the Sundown sax 50.4 : I will bridge it to 2 channels (2 x 160 watts rms, that's headroom!!!).

I am waiting for the UPS tracking number.

I should get the amp by the end of next week.
