New System---->> Nano/Stealth Route

[SilverSquared 10+ year member]

Good morning! I am planning a new system in my car. Pretty much 100% of the factory system is coming out, and all new going in. I have 6.5" separates in the front doors, 6.5" co-axials in the rear, and stock it has an 8" sub.

the car is a hatchback. Im not going to replace the stock sub. I have a pair of 6.5" American Bass subs I will put back there in an enclosure Im making where the hatch cargo cover goes. That way I still have room underneath to carry stuff.

Right now I want to run nano amps. I want them small enough to fit in a particular place. I've seen SoundStream has the Picasso Nano amps, I do like those a lot. I was going to get the PN4.520D for the mids/highs and the PN1.650D for the lil subs.

Ive also ran across Power Acoustik's Razor line. They have a 2000w 4-channel, and a 2300w monoblock. I know the power is a lot less than that, but still a little more than the SoundStream's Nano amps.

My biggest concern is in one of the reviews on the Power Acoustik 4 channel is that it was a noisy amp.

Does anyone have experience with either of these series from Power Acoustik or SoundStream? I'd like honest opinions before I commit to buy. Any other options are good too. The Power Acoustik is just over 11" long, that's about the biggest I could run. I'd actually have to trim for it to fit. So keep that in mind on a suggestion. I will measure the area in a second to provide an actual size reference.

Have you seen the Rockford PBR 300x1, 500x1, and 300x4? If I was in a smaller vehicle and running stealth, I'd be all over those amps.

I have looked into those. And considered them. Whats confusing the hell out of me is the 300x1 and the 500x1 are both listed at 6.75" long. You can see they are difft sizes. If they made a 500x4, I'd be all over it. I want the amps to match (im that idiot, lol).

*EDIT*

On RF's site, the 500x1 is 8.2" long. Now if they made a bigger 4 channel...that same size, lol
