amp comparison (highs)

[Ryde _Or_Die 10+ year member]

I am looking for a new amp for my highs/mids. I want it to put out about 100rms x4 @ 4ohms. I am looking to spend less than $300. I need an amp that won't clip or make my tweeters cut out because its not clean enough. Here are some I've been looking at:

RF 801X 100rms x 4

RF 851x 110rms x 4

Please add some good amps that will put out the power I need and will not cut out and will be very clean. Thanks.

Anyone? Someone has offered me a MA Audio HK597 but I haven't heard anything about them really but I believe someone said they were a different sort of low end company that changed their name. Not quite sure.

Someone find me an amp //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif I really want something that puts out 125rms or so @ 4ohms with 4 channels and is reliable. And NO CLIPPING! Something around $250. Come on guys!

I don't know why your looking for that much power but its going to be very difficult to find a 4 channel amp that can:

1.) Produce the type of power you want.

2.) Do it at an acceptable price.

3.) Do it with an decent THD.

4.) Good specs you deem important.

Only amps I saw doing a quick search for them were the MTX Thunder 1004 (125x4@4), RF's you mentioned, and Visionik. I personally feel MTX's THD is unacceptable at

Unless you have a real important reason for needing that much power might i suggest a US Accoustics USB-4085. Its a great amp from what I have read, it will do 85w x 4 @ 4 ohms, has a THD of

If that one doesn't interest you I'd probably look into either of the RF's but at around $350-$400 they aren't exactly budget friendly.

Well I really need like 100rms x 4 but I want to just turn the gains down so I don't have to worry about clipping at all. I don't really feel like pushing an amp to its limits all the time is all.

Do you always turn the volume all the way up? If the answer is no, then you don't have anything to worry about. Set the gains properly and keep the volume down.

I do actually usually keep the volume up all the way //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

With 100W per side up front you won't for long if you want to keep your hearing //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
