Posted August 17, 200916 yr 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 ?
August 17, 200916 yr Author 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.
August 18, 200916 yr 23 views, one answer ?!!I should have made a poll! You haven't picked your two yet. There is no way around this compromise.
August 18, 200916 yr Author 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?
August 18, 200916 yr Author get a 50.4 and bridge itIt 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!
August 18, 200916 yr 50.4 is only 200 shipped vs the 125.2 at 240 plus shippingHere is the linkCloseout of 50.4
August 18, 200916 yr Author great price!ThanksI 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.
August 18, 200916 yr 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.
August 18, 200916 yr Author 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!!!
August 19, 200916 yr 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.
August 21, 200916 yr Author 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.
