4 channel amp?

[xet 10+ year member]

I am trying to consolidate to one amp for my new setup which is pg rsd components and a 10w3 d2. So I was looking to get a 4 channel amp and being able to send them around 150wrms each and bridging the back for 300wrms at 4ohms. Can anyone recommend a good amplifier for this setup? Also can someone explain how tuning goes as far as needing to tune the sub and the components differently on the amp???

the pdx-4.150 would do exactly what you want, not sure you're in that price range though.

150x4's aren't that common, and generally pretty pricey.

There's a nice Lanzar Opti200x4 still available at allaudioexpo.com. It's around $250 shipped. 125+ for your components and ~400 for the sub.

MB Quart dsc4125 would be a good one. $230 at onlinecarstereo.com

Kicker 650.4, $250 also at OCS.

The other issue is that there are very few amps that do 150x2 and 300x1. If they do that power on the front channels they'll typicaly do a good bit more than that bridged (the PDX is a notable exception) or if they do that amount bridged, they do a good bit less on the front channels. The good news is that you don't hardly need that amount of power on the front channels. 75-100 should be more than enough and should bridge to right about what you want for the sub.

He only needs 2 channels + a sub.

sweet guys thanks for the opinions, i think you are right those ~120 ones should be perfectly fine and they dont overpower the sub too much. And hopefully if I just set my gains well I shouldn't have a problem. What would you guys recommend, the mb quartz or the kicker?

There is a xenon 200.4 on ebay. It will exceed your power requirements easily //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
