need help deciding on a 4 channel amp

[jsluss17 10+ year member]

it needs to be really efficient because the pioneer i had before(gm4000f) pretty much destroyed my battery. with it installed my car literally died when it was on lol without it though the lights don't even dim on my car with my dx1000.1. are there any good efficient 4 channel amps that put out ~50 watts per channel rms and won't **** my battery in the butthole? for around $150

new or used ,and most 4 channels are ab amps so the ratings aren't really the best.i would say if your cuurent amp is draining your battery ,then look elsewhere for whats causing the drain

either one new or used would be fine really. and ohh ok yeah that makes sense i guess. the dx1000 doesn't really drain my battery all that much it doesn't even dim the lights so i'm assuming it was the pioneer that really destroyed me. what about an alpine power pack? if i got that on an alpine deck will that drain the power as much?

yea it could work ,but i dont think it will give you the power you want.i have a 4 channel [used] id sell you never had an issue with it as far as draining my battery even with a sd 8000 watt amp,on 1 battery

If you want a super-efficient 4x50watt Class D amplifier that also has very clean sound, take a look at Alpine Alpine MRX-F30. I have seen several reviews with tests that show that they produce super clean sound. Its price is more like $200 though.

If you want brand new, and a great amp in my opinion, the Soundstream Lil wonder 620.4 for rt at $150 shipped, or less.Great specs, and small footprint compared to amps with same power.Just an option to throw at you.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
