i'd go with the rubicon, or zeus all day

i like my zeus 4x60 + 1k. seems nice.

depends on price. cadence have been known to be great, rubicons as well. kenwoods id pass on, same with pioneer.

Here's prices:

Soundstream rubicon 4.600 - $145

Hifonics Zeus zxi80.4 - $140

Or....I just found a Cadence 5-channel for $150..F100-5. That's 150 watts per channel at 2 ohm. The Infinity's are only rated to 90 watts though.

I have two infinity's 475 and a 5350, if you have purchased one...

 

[Dirtrider4eva 10+ year member]

well then youd have an extra channel. buy the rubicon.

Nah, with the 5 channel I can run the infinity comps up front, put some coaxials in the rear doors and 5th channel for the sub.

I just didn't look too hard at the 5 channels because they're a fair bit more than the 4-channels for the few I saw initially, so I was only going to run the comps on the front 2 channels and the sub off the rear channels bridged.

I may have to rethink that if I can find a reasonable 5 channel in the same price range.

Hey op, did you end up making a decisions yet? I was also looking at that cadence f100-5. Just curious if you found any reason not to get that one.
