[QUOTE="Scoobydoo, post: 1735067, member: 564934"] I have owned numerous Clarion Pro Audio decks and I really like them, but I have never owned a Clarion amplifier. I have owned JL, Soundstream, PPI, Orion and A/D/S amps and was wondering how the Clarions compare with them SQ wise? The amp will be powering a set of A/D/S 236is 6.5" components. I would love to get another A/D/S to power them, but my budget is too low and they are extrememly hard to find anyway. 100 watts x 4 would be optimal, but again budget doesnt permit spending more than about $100 on an amp right now The Clarion model I am looking at is the APX4240: Features MOSFET power supply Built-in variable low-pass or high-pass crossovers 50-300 Hz crossover frequency Line or speaker level inputs 2 ohms stereo/4 ohms mono stable Gold-plated input and output terminals GLIIC (Ground Loop Isolation Input Circuit) for noise rejection Bass Extender 0, 6, 12 dB boost control at 50 Hz CEA-2006 compliant specifications Multi-Channel Amp Specifications Amplifier Type: Multi-Channel RMS Power @ 4 Ohms: 60W x 4 @ 14.4V THD at 4-Ohm RMS Power: Bridged RMS Power @ 4 Ohms: 180W x 2 @ 14.4V Speaker Level Inputs: yes Preamp Outputs: no Built-In Crossovers: HP/LP Bass Boost: 0, 6, 12 dB Frequency Response: 20-30,000 Hz Signal to Noise Ratio: >85 dB Dimensions: 13 L x 10 7/8 W x 2 3/4 H Basically it comes down to whether or not this amp be able to make my A/D/S speakers shine like they should?
