Pioneer PRS-D4100F or Kicker ZX700.5

I have a $240 credit with OnlineCarStero.com and I am trying to decide between the Kicker and Pioneer Premier amps.

I will be using the amp to run 1 eD SQ10 (channel 5 on the Kicker at 2 ohm ~ 420 watts; channels 3/4 bridged on the Pioneer at 4 ohm ~ something like 150+ watts (manual is a bit misleading)).

I will also run my front stage. Channels 1/2 on the Pioneer around 75 watts; channels 1/2 on the Kicker around 70 watts. I would bridge the Kicker for the front but the manual says it is MONO when bridged. If that is the case I would go ahead and use 3/4 for my rears.

The Kicker obviously has a lot more power but it is also very big (but I can fit it). I like what I have heard about the ICE power Pioneer has.

I'd take the kicker 8 days a week.

Thanks! That's kinda what I fugured. I noticed you are running a ZX700.5. Can you bridge to 2 channels in stereo on the front/rear 4 channels?

I have a 750.1 mono amp, sorry.

Ahhh, sorry I read it quickly. I did talk to Kicker Tech Support and they stated that it WOULD be a stereo signal. Which is what I thought. I ordered the 700.5 today.
