amp for my front stage

[smashedz28 110]

I need to pick out an amp for my front stage. As of right now the vehicle is bone stock..I've purchased a set of 6.5 components (fosgate power t1's). I plan to run them using the supplied passive crossovers in stock locations. Have no plans to run an active setup anytime soon but who knows what will happen in the future. I would like to spend under $250 but could possibly spend more if there is a good reason too. Looking for about 100x4 @ 4ohms and bridgable. I have a MB quart dsc4125 in another vehicle and its OK but want something else for this vehicle. What's out there that's worth a crap?

[smashedz28 110]

I prefer to buy new also.

Not in your budget but the Sundown SAX-100.4 is a great 4 channel with a great crossover network. Can be run active if you decide to go that route later.

[smashedz28 110]

That is a possibility. I can spend more just trying to see what people suggest. I've had an eye on the sax100.4. Had my eye on the zed draconia II too but that thing is damn expensive and I don't feel I'll be using it to its potential so its not worth the $550 or so to me

Fosgate t400-4 also crossed my mind and its in the price range. Bridged it has enough power for me..

This is a great price for some quality Aura products.

For his front stage? And the OP stated he wanted a four channel amp.

As a side note, I'd like to know how they can get 1400 watts with a 100 amp fuse. 100% efficient amp?

[jcarter1885 995]

You could grab a Crescendo C10004, they are selling for $195 shipped I believe and its 125w x 4 @ 4ohms iirc.

Audioque 4x90! Plenty of power and awesome crossovers.

Is that the big gold one? Or the new style?I'm going to run a crescendo amp for my subs which is why I ask, matching would be nice. I've emailed them several times with no response. Wonder if they make a 4ch in the new style.

The old ppi a1200 amps had a 100 amp fuse and were capable of 1200w + on good electrical and no one that has ever owned one will say it wasn't capable of the power it made.

He stated he was going to be powering a set of comps, so why not just get a 2ch for now and add a 2nd when the time comes he adds more to go active with.

I believe they are releasing the new 4ch soon hence why they are getting rid of the old ones at that price. Could be wrong but I think that I read it somewhere.

fosgate T400-4 is a good amp

[ford302redneck 15]

Why not a big 2 channel instead of bridging a smaller 4 channel?

Crescendo has a big 2 channel, if you wanted to go that route.

Also, why do you need so much power?

[An-i-no 86]

Probably for headroom instead of trying to squeeze every last watt out of a smaller amp.

[Ohjay 116]

If you decide to up the budget, the Incriminator Audio 6.4 is just a few dollars more than the Sundown 100.4 and makes the same power in a much smaller footprint.

If I recall, the IA is a Class D, while the Sundown is a class AB.

Maybe you missunderstood what I meant.

Take a 4channel with 100RMS per and 400RMS overall at 4ohms bridged. What purpose would it serve instead of a 200RMS per 2 channel at 4ohms?

[An-i-no 86]

Nah I got you, I actually went the huge 2 channel route myself so I understand exactly what you mean. I was referring strictly to the last part of the post.

So...

[smashedz28 110]

Purchased the fosgate t400-4. Should do fine for me. I'm just powering some components. Bridged will give me a little headroom to the set's.

Yes your correct, there selling the rest of the old gold ones and once there gone they will be releasing the new 4 channels. You can just sell it once the new ones's come in if matching amps is a must. For the price you cant beat it.

So...

What does that have to do with him buying an amp?
