[QUOTE="zako, post: 7658752, member: 629735"] If you're worried about size, etc, get a PPI Phantom amplifier. PPI P900.4 provides honest power as rated for 4x140watts at 4ohms or 450watts in bridged mode. Sonicelectronix has the 4-channel version for $200 shipped right now minus a 10% discount if you enter the "PPI10" coupon code, if it hasn't expired yet. I bought mine for $230 and I thought it was worth that price. There is also a 1-channel PPI P1000.1 and 2-channel version PPI P600.2. Unfortunately, the 5-channel PPI P900.5 hasn't reached the vendors yet. A lot of people are waiting for it. IMO, this PPI line is going to lay waste to MB Quart ONX4 and similar budget amps unless the competitors hurry up with their own budget full range Class D amplifiers. The four channel PPI P900.4 has enough power for pretty much any component speakers. If two channels are bridged, it will give you 450watts with 14.4V battery, around 360 with 12V (engine off). This is plenty for a lot of subwoofers. The only problem is that your sub has to be wired for 4ohms. (a few high end subs, like JL Audio W6 are not available in DVC 2ohm form that's compatible with this). I can suggest a list of subs that will run fine with 400watts at 4ohms since I was recently shopping for a compatible subwoofer for a 1cu ft sealed box. [/QUOTE]
