Memphis Big Belle or Alpine PDX?

[gongos 10+ year member]

What's the smart choice for my system? Have a pair of Rainbow Vandi's and a Icon 12" sub.

Should I get a Memphis Big Belle or a Alpine PDX 1000.1 and a PDX 4.150?

The difference in cost isn't a factor. SQ is.

I am running Memphis now that I am beyond amazed with, but I have no experience with the PDX, so I would vote Memphis, but I am biased.

^^ Ok. What he said. I want one of those. Maybe after I finish replacing everything else. Again.

audison lrx5.1k

At that price, I'd definately buy seperate amps.

Um....why?

a.) One amp saves space/wiring

b.) 1150w @ 2ohm for the sub channel

c.) It's an Audison

What more do you want?

I sold the belle and bought the PDX's... havent connected the subs yet, but the 4 chan beats the belle's 4 chan all day. Power and clarity

I'm a fan of the big belle myself, but I've heard great things about the pdx amps...

PDX'S for me ....but , one time,I heard a Memphis.......Excellent quality....The only type of Memphis that I have ever heard was a 12" sub in a vented box he called the sub a ..ELVIS...like a MOJO ,.does that ring a bell??He was pushing it with a Memphis 1000.I'm on the west coast,I hear they are extremely popular on the east coast and the south.It was really loud considering it was in a Mazda 6 -5 door,with the stock high-end factory system.It was a single sub set up...

How exactly are you "beyond amazed" by an amp?
