Yes. But it does. A buddy is a dealer in Slidell. They normally have both in stock. Go touch them yourself. He hates the XDI. He's more **** then I am though. I don't hate them. Just not a top pick.

And the NVX is a great amp. Their X series speakers are great. They are Arc Blacks. Which both are just slightly adjusted SB acoustic drivers.

the KS is class AB. The XDI is class D. the KRS is ****** . the XDI is better than the majority of the class D amps on the market. it doesn't need a huge heatsink or huge bulky design. its built to be slimline and easy to install.

the XDI is about 500 new.

Id spend the extra chedda and get the KS 900.6 myself but it won't work for him unless he wires it to 8 ohm and its half the power of the XDI.

If it was me Id grab this..

Dark Blue 5 - Helix 5 Ch 700 Watt Amplifier with digital woofer channel

KS is G/H. I take it you've used all these amps in question?

That helix is hideous.

If I am not mistaken, I think I read somewhere that the KS900.6 is the only Class AB amp of the KAR lineup. The rest of the KAR series of amps are Class G/H, but this is pretty easy to determine. If you call Arc Audio, they will answer the phone and will answer your questions, their service is quite excellent. This one should be pretty straight forward for them.
