thats tooo much

As in too much $$$. If you mean too much power then my comment is simply this: nonsense poopie pants!! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

yea I was reffering to the power part.

This is my final hold up on my system. I'm purchasing my Kenwood XXV-05V as soon as my Jensen VM-9410 sells and then after I sell my sub/amp combo I have I'll be purchasing my Seas Lotus Refernce Comps and whatever amp I decide on.

So far the top runners are:

DLS A7

PPI DCX800.5

Zapco Reference 650.6(Running Front/Rear Channels to fronts)

Out of those 3 which would ya'll pick

Out of those I think it comes down to dollars per watt and what you want to spend. Also which is going to give you the best warranty. I think either of them would work well for you.

I'll buy any of those. I just want the best one for my needs.

Then that's the one for you. If they were all the same price, I'd go DLS in a hearbeat....so would bikejucky //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

DLS.

I wouldn't recommend a Helix/Brax. My Helix 5-channels are only good when used in pairs (vertical biamping).

A7 is an impressive 5ch...

you better believe I would baby! That is what being a wh0re for Dls is all about!

we do a lot of JL 500/5's amazing amp.

Are you biamping the front channels? If not, why not just go with a good 3 channel? DLS makes one of those as well. No headache of bridging the highfreq channels, and the amp will draw less current and run cooler.

See if you can find a soundstream van gogh vga800.5 anywhere.

It's the best amp i've ever owned, i had to get rid of mine because i needed more power for my front stage, and thought it would be silly to keep a 5-channel just to power my amp....

It was 50x4+200x1@4ohms (rms) and 100x4+400x1@2ohm(rms)

The sound was amazing, and power consumption must have been great, considering it was in my volkswagen tdi i had, which only had an 80amp alty.
