No reason to get a 4 channel if you're only getting a pair of them

I'll be running 2 pair of the Polks.

The specs on the Rubicon are awesome and the price is great. I have an original Rubicon 404 and it sounds really nice, I'd be curious how the new amps sound.... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif If I was shopping for new, I would probably go with the Rub4.600. I just wish they kept it looking more like the OG.

I got a new Rubicon 4.600 I am not going to use and I am going to sell it cheaper than anywhere else on line fyi

oh and to the person who asked why buy a 4 channel when your only running 2 speakers. Well..narrow minded...most who do this do so because they can bridge it and get nearly double the power to a pair of speakers which means the gains on the amp can be turned down low and still get needed power. amp is happy..and cooler and sounds cleaner. versus gains maxed..noise and distortion and heat in amp. thanks
