Decision between 2 amps...

[shiftmx]

Hello all...I currently have two amps in my possesion and I am only going to keep one of them. I have a Cerwin Vega Stealth 440.4 and a soundstream stealth stl4.500.

•Soundstream Stealth Series 4-Channel Class A/B Car Amplifier

•RMS Power Rating: ◦4 ohms: 80 watts x 4 chan.

◦2 ohms: 125 watts x 4 chan.

◦Bridged, 4 ohms: 250 watts x 2 chan.

•Full MOSFET Power Supply

•Double side PCB and SMD components

•LED power (green) and protect (red) indicators

•4-Channel operation

•Black anodized finish w/ chrome accents

•Active X-over function

•3-Way System Protection circuitry (thermal, overload, high/low voltage)

•Stackable chassis for multiple amplifier applications

•Heavy duty aluminum alloy heatsink for extreme heat dissipation

•Nickel-plated RCA level inputs

•Nickel-plated screw terminals

•RoHS compliant device

•Selectable high-pass filter (Front 50-4000 Hz, Rear 15-500 Hz)

•Selectable low-pass filter (Front 50-4000 Hz, Rear 50-800 Hz or 250-4000 Hz)

•Subsonic Filter (Front 50-4000 Hz, Rear 15-500 Hz)

•Bass boost frequency: 50 Hz

•Bass boost level: 0, 6, 12 dB

•Signal-to-noise ratio: >100 dB

•THD (Total harmonic distortion): 0.05%

•Damping factor: >200

•Frequency response: 15-25,000 Hz

•Dimensions: 11-1/4"L x 6-1/2"W x 2-1/8"H

CERWIN VEGA AMP

•Stealth Series 4-Channel Class D Car Amplifier

•RMS Power Rating: ◦4 ohms: 65 watts x 4 chan.

◦2 ohms: 110 watts x 4 chan.

◦Bridged, 4 ohms: 220 watts x 2 chan.

•RMS Total Output: 440 Watts

•Full Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) MOSFET Power supply

•LED power and protection indicators with built in overload protection

•Vega Bass adjustment (0-12 dB bass boost)

•Crossover selection switch allows you to adjust the crossover point

•Input gain adjustment allows for more precise adjustments

•RCA Input and pass-thru output allow for normal RCA left and right channel signal input

•Aluminum alloy casing great for fast heat dissipation

•Power input connections

•Standard ATC/ATO automotive 25A power fuses

•Silver-plated RCA level inputs

•Silver-plated screw terminals

•Variable high-pass filter (50-250 Hz)

•Variable low-pass filter (50-250 Hz)

•Frequency response: 20-30,000 Hz

•Dimensions: 9-7/16"L x 7"W x 1-7/8"H

I plan to run the amp in 3 ch mode to kenwood components that are 80w RMS and bridge the rears to an 8" jbl gto sub. I know both has enough power for the sub, but will a 15w difference on the components make it any difference? Which would you keep and why? Thanks

sell both maybe

Thanks for the replies.

Any reason why the soundstream over the Vega? i heard the vega was a clone of the arc audio XXD4080 which got good reviews. I also heard some good things here about the SS d-towers, I think they have the same internals as the SS stealth. I am not getting rid of both, these two both fit in the location I need them to and they are within the budget I was willing to spend. I just want to hopefully end up with the better of the two.
