[QUOTE="Chromatic, post: 8214521, member: 659121"] This helps me more than you know! I'm working with limited space as well. I have to fit the amp in a 17 and 3/4" wide by 8" deep area. So the Class A/B I was originally going for was REALLY tight.. and wiring and then adjusting it after mounted was not going to be an easy task. When I learned more about the Class D and how they've improved over the years -- It really opened my eyes. The place I'm putting my amp is going to be closed, not open.. relatively small space,.. so I need a small dimension amp and one that can run cooler due to lack of active airflow. Class D does both of these things. This is exactly what I wanted and needed to hear. I'm ordering tomorrow so stuff ships out Monday,. and Class D it will be.. Most likely it will be the PPI 900.4 Class D 4 channel amp. Since people seem to prefer the PPI brand over Kenwood here,.. and I'm trusting everyone who obviously have more experience than I. (My last system was in 2000) [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] Things have changed a bit. Well.. I'd do the same and I'd run a little different package of speakers as well -- But mine is more limited by my goals of sound (I just want an improvement over the two 6.5" 10 watt factory speakers I have.. and a little bass) -- So I'm on a budget.. budget went from $350 to $1000.
