Need Amp Advise! RF vs RF!

[Astyl 10+ year member]

So im looking for a good amp to power my front cabin speakers with, and i want some quality material, and the RF series caught my eye, i need to know which one of these is the better deal because i can get both for around the same price

First Selection

vs

Second Selection

Basically its the top of the line PUNCH series amp that RF carries, its rated @ 175 watts RMS, but for 40 dollers more i could get the first line of the POWER series which is rated @ only 120 watts rms, but ive heard that the POWER series amps are suppost to be the shit as far as quality goes, and its probobly underrated and comes w/ a birthsheet, im just wondering which one is the better guy and if the Power series is worth the extra money for a seemingly less power output, and i know looks dont matter much but that power series looks ugly as shit compared to the punch

Between those two amps, I would choose the second one. The power series T4002.

I would choose the Power too.

As far as I know Power lines more underrated than punch lines.

Is it worth it though.. even if its underrated its still only 120 and it has alot of room to make up to get too and pass that 175 of the punch series.. and omg is it ugly

The 07 Power amplifiers are only slightly under-rated. RF has the T400-2's dynamic power output rated at 145watts x 2 @ 4ohms.

You should really look into the Power Elite series. I'd recommend a T5002. Its only rated 75watts x 2 @ 4ohms but actual average power ouput is 227watts x 2 @ 4ohms and it runs about the same price as the others you mentioned.

Basically same internals as the P800.2 with a prettier looking board & heatsink.

Birthsheets show them doing well over 200w per channel.......
