Posted February 27, 201312 yr So Found this on WoofersETC today and was wondering on opinions. I am going to get the Soundqubed Q4-120 but from what I've read in the last few months Focal is VERY VERY good but expensive. After seeing this Focal amp for 200bucks i'm thinking did I find a sweet deal or is it a bottom line amp from focal that isn't worth it and spend the extra 100bucks on the Soundqubed? Opinions please. thnx.

I hate the new quoting format!
February 27, 201312 yr Author No real set budget just not wanting to waste money. After reading and researching couldn't see a reason not to go with the Soundqubed Q4-120 for 300 bucks. Now I find this Focal for 200.Am I going to notice a difference if I spend 200 hundred bucks or 500 like the SA amp is ? Is the difference noticeable in performance ? Am I loosing sound/SQ from my speakers ? I am a nooband looking for advise with explanation. Says retail on the Focal is $550 but is on clearance price. In the end I want quality but I am the type of person that loves a deal and to save money.Why spend more on one amp if the performance/quality is no different?

With the Sundown amp, it is very efficient and you have more crossover control. I think it's a good investment to get the most from your drivers.

February 27, 201312 yr Author Ok so with more crossover control I can tweak with the sound coming from my speakers until I really like it and not so much with the 2 I listed? Would my deck Pioneer DEH-80prs not be ableto or come close in tweaking the sound from my speakers enough ? Bought that deck due to all the eq features. Sorry Im learning if what I say hurts your head lolSQ amp similar to SA amp in crossover features Shogen ? Edited February 27, 201312 yr by Canucknoob

February 27, 201312 yr from the photos on SQ's website the controls looks similar for the x-over but I could be wrong... but like I said your HU will be more than enough to control the sound ***BTW... I'm off to bed ...lol... Need to wake up at 5... I'll re-visit later on... :-) Edited February 27, 201312 yr by Shogen
February 27, 201312 yr Author Out of all the brands i've looked at in the last couple months haven't seen or read anything on NVX or heard of tbh. Just checked out the website and couple videos and noticed they are only couple years old. Say's on website the are all about quality. Anyone here try them or know about them ?? Price wise noticed I could do the one you linked Brutal and get the Jad 1200 for less then the 2 SoundQubed I was looking at. Are they very high quality ? Have they proven themselves? How are the woofers ? I'm looking mainly SQ then spl secondary. Looking at FIQ12 atm.
February 27, 201312 yr when it comes to amps its pretty easy to find some cheap clean power. i pointed out in your other thread that the nvx is using a very common design so for that particular amp i would assume the nvx is decent. personally i like the ppi or polk model. I used an SSA icon in my bro's car, great sounding subwoofer and can get plenty loud.
May 15, 201312 yr Focal Solid is the entry level of Focal's amps. I would search a Focal FP instead (FPS is the high end)
