Need a SMALL amp

[panteramatt 10+ year member]

Im looking at small amps to hide behind the dash of my wifes classic bronco. It will be powering pol db6501 components and a pair of 6x9's. Heres 2 Ive found:

Alpine KTP-445U and Rockford Fosgate PBR300X4. I can get them for close to the same price. Dont want nothing fancy and they both have really great reviews. Any thoughts or others I should look at? Dont want the Clarion one. I believe you can hook up the alpine without an amp wiring kit too but not sure on that.

Do you have a compatible alpine HU? I've used a power pack before. It was ok but not as good as a conventional amp. I agree the rockford is better and I'm very anti rockford.

No I have a pioneer.

Then you can't use the power pack.

Rockford is farrrr better....in my experience they're hit or miss but if you get a good one and mount of correctly you should be good

Really? You can only use the power pack with a alpine HU? I thought I read of people using them with stock hu's.

You're right. I didn't have the U. The normal power pack is Alpine only

Why is that not an option?

The other amps mentioned here are a lot smaller than the P900.4. The Phantom amps aren't really tiny anymore considering other, more recently released options.

Checkout Massive Audio's Nano amps or Phoenix Gold's SD series.

Look at the arc audio minis I have one running my comps and I like it a lot.
