4 channel amp recommendation needed
I am in the market for a new 4 channel ampliifer with the following requirements: - 35-50 clean watts per channel (4 channels needed to drive 2 pairs of speakers) - Built in high pass crossovers (to filter out low frequencies going to door speakers) - If possible, has a way to drive my powered bazooka 8" sub (using RCA levels does not cut it; needs speaker level) - Under $200 $USD if at all possible. My system installed in a '96 Ford Explorer XLT consists of: Nakamichi CD head unit (just one pair of RCA outs; 2 volt) 4 each Boston Acoustics 5x7/6x8 speakers (2 in each door) I had a Rockford 4600x amp (4 channel) but it appears to be fried. I had my single set of RCA levels from the Nak HU running back to near the amp, and each channel was run into it's own RCA y-splitter, and then that split signal was fed the rear and front RCA inputs on the amp. I had my sub being powered off of the amp's rear channel speaker levels and it sounded quite good that way...plenty of volume for sure. I don't need a top of the line amp or tons of power....a good, clean low-mid powered amp like the 4600x was is fine for my application. Thanks. |

budget.

The reserve on this beautiful a/d/s/ 4x50 amp is just in your price range:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...e=STRK:MESE:IT You should be able to drive one of the pairs of speakers and the inputs of the Bazooka with half the amp (rear typically) and the front speakers with the other half. However, in order to do that you'll need to use large bipolar caps to high-pass the rear speakers as the amp crossover would have to be run fullrange to have any bass content delivered to the Bazooka. The fronts can still be high-passed with the internal amp crossover though. This would be true of pretty much any 4-channel amp you buy. One other plus is you can ditch the Y-splitters as the P450.2 has a 2/4 channel input parallel switch. If you really want to improve things, buy the 6-channel model: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...e=STRK:MESE:IT and use the extra pair of channels to drive 150 bridged watts to a better subwoofer solution, i.e. almost any decent driver in a properly sized/tuned box, which will sound miles better than a Bazooka tube. pr "Bob DeYoung" wrote in message ...

Either the PCA4.260 or PCA4.400. http://www.soundstream.com/sub/produ...s_picasso.html Any comments on them and/or Soundstream amps in general? |

I bought one of these at Christmas for my car and I love it. Puts out a solid 50w x 4 at 12.5v and 70w x 4 at 14.4 which is typical for driving voltage. Its sounds pretty clear with my aftermarket speakers and the company is very dependable about shipping. No problems with the amp either, even as a factory re-furb. Good luck Jon Bob DeYoung wrote: I am in the market for a new 4 channel ampliifer with the following requirements: - 35-50 clean watts per channel (4 channels needed to drive 2 pairs of speakers) - Built in high pass crossovers (to filter out low frequencies going to door speakers) - If possible, has a way to drive my powered bazooka 8" sub (using RCA levels does not cut it; needs speaker level) - Under $200 $USD if at all possible.

Crutchfield has it on sale for $199.99. I'm torn between this one and the Rockford Fosgate Punch P4004 for about the same price, but leaning towards the Rockford simply by their reputation and true specs. |
