[QUOTE="olds97_lss, post: 7513553, member: 621499"] Well... not sure what the deal is with the NX4, but honestly, bridged or 4 channel sounds almost the same in volume to me. In bridged mode, it overheats and shuts down faster. So... the money on that amp appears to have been a waste already. The kenwood however, did push the fronts bridged far better than it did in 4 channel mode. I have no idea what the issue is... Seems that the polks want big name brand power that I guess I'll have to cough up the $ for just to push them. What's funny to me is that I bought them due to them being reviewed as "factory replacement" speakers. Figured a lower wattage amp would push them fine. I guess it's either my bad luck, or polk's way of getting people to buy their stuff... then buy more to run it. Or, do I just ditch the polks and go with something that has a lower RMS rating so I can run them with my NX4? Which is another thing I don't quite understand. MA sells 6x9's, but they are only rated 30W RMS less than my polks. Seems to me, the NX4 wouldn't push those either... [/QUOTE]
