Looking to replace by blown sax100.2 - i know the MRP-F600 is a 4-ch, but looking into 4 ch for future expansion. I can get the F600 new on ebay for $250 shipped, anything else I should consider in this price range? Looking for 75-100W x 4 range...

I'd try looking for a mint Eclipse XA4000 or Kenwood X4R. Hard to find new for a reasonable price, but there's always the classifieds.

Eclipse XA4000 - I've heard good things about this amp, will keep my eyes open for one.

Kenwoord X4R as in this one?

1) Alpine MRP-F600

2) Diamond Audio D6600.4

3) Hifonics ZXi 6406

4) MB Quart DSC4125

My bad, I gave you the wrong model on the Kenwood. It's this one: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_12053_Kenwood+eXcelon+KAC-X4R.html?utm_source=froogle&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=froogle

I would suggest against, being that it isn't the cleanest of amplifiers.

Do you still have the blown SD? I'll buy it.

100 x 4 @ 4 ohms

200 x 4 @ 2 ohms

400 x 2 @ 4 ohms (Bridged)

I said. I've worked on quite a few of them. They use crap parts and are low quality. Even the Excelon amps.

OK? That doesn't change the fact that the excelon series you plastic backed power supply parts....They **** and I'm willing to bet that the class D amps are not any cleaner than any other class D amp on the market.

Sorry bud, I think I tossed it when I recently moved but I found a member on another board selling the eclipse XA4000, so I'll see if I can work out a deal with him. Thanks everyone for their inputs.

Get the XA4000...can't beat the 125x4 for $200-250 used.
