$200 4 channel amp suggestions?

[SuperDaveTX 10+ year member]

I posted a thread on speakers and now here. Want a 4 channel amp to drive front and rear fill.

Front likely to be Rainbow 265 deluxe or ID CTX65CS. or maybe the hertz. So, want atleast 75w/ch

Anyway, I have used 3 difference Cadence amps and was going to get another ZRS-C9. This amp is solidly built, nice heat sink rails. I have not taken a look inside, but never needed to. In TX, never had any of mine over heat.

So, thinking this unless I can find something better that is likely smaller. I had an ED Nine.4, but it was stolen. The ZRS-C9 replaced it well.

Input appreciated. BTW, install is in a 2500 crew cab, and NOT buying used.

Thanks, Dave

Alpine mrp-f300 or its replacement, I think its the mrxf30.

I have the 300, been using it for 3 years now, 0 issues. I paid $155w/tax new for it from ABC Warehouse after I talked them down to meet the price on Amazon

You know, I would take a used Sundown 100.4 if the price was really right...

I'm staying away from epay unless brand new... but then again, still wouldn't do it. too risky.

? Not seeing the risk ? Most of us here buy and sell from each other constantly. If you get something other than as described, you file a claim and get a refund. I take detailed pictures and videos of my stuff before and during packaging to cover my ass, which in turn, covers your ass.

You guys can't read. I said i was NOT going to buy on Ebay. Ebay is about the same as a flea market. I would buy something used from someone here though as I said I would be interested in a good deal on a Sundown Audio amp. Ok.. so there was a typo, but jeez!

A little under rated, but for the price it is hard to beat.

I fail to see the risk in buying from one of the many reputable ebay stores that have tens of thousands on sales and 99%+ feedback.

Ebay has plenty of great deals, it's no flea market if you're looking for the right stuff. I've got a good deal on an Elemental Designs amp for ya. And I may only have a few transactions, but they're all 100%. And they are going to stay that way.

And I thought when you said "epay", you meant, online forms of payment. My bad, misunderstanding of a typo haha.

Sorry, I'm not trying to push anything on you. I just think my amp is a good fit for your needs, and priced well for you. If I didn't think it was a good match, I wouldn't be suggesting it.

I am a fan of Class D amplifiers. However, at $200 or less, I would go with a Class A/B amplifier as I don't like the available Class D options. If you can fit it, consider Precision Power BK800.4. The power rating is 4x130watts at 4ohms. Also, do not be shy to check out PPI Sedona amplifiers. They are good amplifiers. I have seen a Russian language site with review of one of them, which suggests they do rated power and provide clean good signal. Both product lines are available from sonicelectronix. The company is great. I have bought a lot of stuff from them. They have excellent return policy.

It's likely true that they're hard to beat for the price. However, I question the wisdom of shopping for the "best $90 car audio amplifier". You can certainly do better with a bigger budget.
