5-channel amp

[DejaWiz 5,000+ posts]

the 4 channel is 67% and the subwoofer channel is 71 % effcient.

Alrighty, using those figures (averaged out to 69%):

14.4V * 80A = 1152W

1152W * 0.69 = 795W

795W / 2 = 397.5W

That's probably going to be about 4x52W + 190W RMS at 4 Ohms.

Out of curiosity, where did you find the efficiency figures?

If what you are saying is true( im not doubting you) there are a TON of amps out there "name brand" that are not doing the rated power. THAT SUCKS

Thanks for the source info.

And yes, it does ****. Which is why the CEA-2006 standard was created and enacted. There's really no good reason for any manufacturer not to adhere to this rating methodology other than to intentionally dupe a consumer out of money.

227.00 plus shipping and I belive this is 40a x3 and class d for the subwoofer channel

Alpine PDX 5 would give you more on the 5th channel than the Kicker, but it's 100 dollars or so out of your budget.

This would be my suggestion

Yeah, i have the Eclipse amp on my watch sheet. I just want to make sure I am getting the amp I want, and more importantly, that it has enough power to run my comps. The eclipse definetly is up there.
