1000C4 vs ONX4.125 vs ZXI-150.4

Looks like Im going with the DCON after all. Going to get a 4 channel that can give 100 to my comps with some headroom, and bridge the rears for about 350-400rms. Some headroom would be nice in case I decide to upgrade or if I happen to find another sub deal before I order. $200 limit.

Which is the best bang for buck? Im sure the Crescendo is the highest quality one, but is it worth sacraficing the features of the other two, and paying $40 more then the MBQuart?

If the new Quart 4ch is anything like the old 4125, the Crescendo will put out way more power. I did a direct swap from the DSC4125 to the 1000C4 and it did so much more power and stayed infinitely cooler.

i am thoroughly impressed with the 1000c4 i installed in my uncle's truck. its running 2 channel mode to (2) Selenium 6w4p's and a single Selenium ST350 in each door crossed over with dayton pro crossovers and that ish is soooooooooo loud and clear as hell too. AWESOME AMP!! i really don't think you will do better for the price.

Would it be a problem to run the DCON ported around 30hz off the Crescendo when it doesnt have a sub sonic?
