Boston acousic amps

I thought about going with a 5 channel amp , but ultimatley decided i would be better of with 2 seperate amps. My question is about this amp: Boston Acoustics GTA-704 (GTA704) 4-Channel Class AB GTA Amplifier

My question is are they underated? It says it only does 70w rms x4 @ 4 ohms. I was looking at this to run my componets and 6x9's .

And i was looking at this to run a ssa dcon:Boston Acoustics GTA-500m (GTA500m) Monoblock Class D GTA Amplifier

I know the mono amp is more than enough, but idk about the 4 channel.

I mean for $308 for the set it's not bad, i just don't know if the 4 channel will produce the result that i want. I am feeding my comps 125w rms now.

He should check his wiring ... they are very sensitive to wiring issues.

direct from boston. mosfet board was DOA (and the box was open). sent it back. 3 months later, same issue. sending it back again and then getting rid of it. probably does better as a 2 channel than bridged to a sub according to the rep i spoke with. and i had it professionally installed and triple checked the wiring myself
