    If you had a choice between the Orion 4004.4 amp and the tsunami db4440 (avionix) which would you choose? Is one going to be cleaner sounding than the other or would any difference be negligible? Say you could get both amps for the exact same cost. Its gonna power CDT classic comps (up to 90wrms??) and rear boston acoustic rally coax (40wrms) The orion>>>> http://www.cbrstereo.com/Merchant2/merchan..._Code=ORIONAMPS The Tsunami>>>> http://www.avionixxusa.com/ep/db4440.htm
