Blown Channel, Need new 4 channel amp

[barfy 10+ year member]

Hey guys,

Here is my current system.

HU: Dual XDMR7700

Components: 2 set's Pioneer TS-C160R's

Sub: Infinity Kappa 10.1d in a MTX 10" stealthbox.

Sub Amp: MTX 6500D

Component amp: Rockford Fosgate P4004.

Stinger 1.0 wire and fuseblock.

Stinger 2.0 to the amps from the Distro block.

Stinger 2.0 ground wire up front and rear.

All this in a 2001 Ford Explorer sport.

Here is the problem, The RF P4004 blew a rear channel.

Rather than fix it I am thinking of buying a Rockford Fosgate P850.4 to drive the components.

Is this too much for them, I will be upgrading the Pioneers later this year to something a little better. Is there a better amp out there for the same price, I can get this on Ebay for about $400.00 shipped.

Also, Daft question, Would a better HU help my sound out or is the sound better with a better Amp..

Thanks.. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

As for the SQ and h/u...

I'll put it this way, DUAL's arent known for their SQ //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
