[QUOTE="KingArthur2016, post: 8745098, member: 683005"] Thanks for the replies…. I’m continuing to research this… I'm bouncing around a lot trying to figure out what to do. So where I’ve landed now is that I’m probably going to get 2 amps. A 5 channel amp that’s got at least a 500w class d channel and also has a subsonic filter is more expensive than all the other components I want to get combined. I can get a 1500w monoblock type D and a 4 channel 400w amp for about $200 altogether. I’m using the 4 channel amp because it’s cheaper than any comparable 2 channel. The thing I don’t like about that amp is it’s going to need to be bridged to send 4ohm to my component speakers which will be sending them 2x more power than they’re rated for. I’m hoping that going through the gain setting procedure with a voltmeter and reference track is going to keep the components safe. Here's a link to another thread I made in the sub section. I'm trying to use a ported box. I explain more there. The one I posted in my first post in this thread is the wrong size; not sure how I missed it.

They do seem awfully cheap. However I can't understand how something of the same power and performance can be 4-5-6x the price? [/QUOTE]
