JBL BPX 500.1 vs. JBL GTO1400.1 for JBL w15gti MKII

The bpx (crown) puts out almost 800 @ 4 ohms

The GTO puts out 1200 @ 4 ohms.

Basically same price

Now the BPX is supposed to be top of line buht what maes it so much better than the GTo which amp would be better suuited for my application? Is the extra 400 watts going to make a big difference in output? Bcuz the BPX is very cosmetically pleasing to my eyes lol and its top of the line. But I don't want to lose a lot of output I want my baby to sing

i'd go for more power with that sub just because they might need that power to really get going. Though I can't guarantee that going from 800 to 1200 will make much of a difference.

Yea dual 6 they wire down to 3 after impedence rise closer to 4 ohms. Dag I need some more def answers seeing as how the 14001 won't be for sale much longer
