Best 4 channel for 200 or less

i have the ppi i520 and i have to lower the gains on that **** to hell or else it drowns out my bass... and barely gets warm for a puny amp. I would say my speakers got twice as loud but the important thing is, more midbass, more midrange detail, you can hear other instruments a lot easier. I can only imagine the p900.4 being a lot more powerful then the i520.

If you don't mind used you could land a really nice 4 channel.

Thats a solid deal on that amp but even underrated the ppi is going to be be well over dbl that power @4ohms its a beast ...amd has all lpf bpf and hpf for a sweet active setup...for like 180 bucks

Why everybody is failing to tell you that those PPI's get really hot "class AB" so remember keep them cool and ventilated and watch the loads on those. Now personally there is a amp made by MB Quart "2013 model" called the reference 640.4 or which ever size you want and those are all CEA compliant and do rated and are so clean and warm sounding its out of this world for the price but yessss ppi amps are good but these sound better and have better technology behind them or should i say "newer" technology behind them and i have one on the way because of what i heard in person not because of what others are just saying without any physical proof.

I love my 800.4 and havent really noticed it getting hot...well if ur goal is to get crazy loud for cheap u could always go pro audio ..with a good install and tuning they can sound good ..but im sure ill get bashed for sayin that ...its all about the install quality and taking time to tune them ..they get a bad rap...i run 4 aq 6.5s and 2 supertweets. ...all cost me 135 bucks total shipped and i couldnt be happier.

CEA ratings dont mean jack **** they are just a selling point/marketing tool that maxxsonics realized. There's some of tests done on the PPI amps on several forums and they put out a lot of good clean power. As for the heat issue as long as your not starving it for power with low voltages and no amperage, it shouldn't get hot, warm maybe but not hot.

I am deciding on running the type r coaxial speakers 6x9 in back and 6.5 in front tey are rated at 100 rms each . I've decided on gettin the ppi p900.4 or the ppi bk800.4 what one should I get , and is there any other better speakers for 100 a set

If you have a preference of Class AB vs Class D for your type of amplifier this is going to decide between the P900.4 or the BK800.4. If you need a small amp then the nod obviously goes to the P900.4. It's an awesome sounding amp with a really low noise floor. At the limits the P900.4 will run more efficiently than the BK800.4, but with the amp pushing well over 100 wpc for an extended length of time your speakers are going to be very unhappy.

100 per pair or each

100 watts per speaker

And they cost 100 per set
