[QUOTE="dsmyl6, post: 8315120, member: 655655"] Hey guys, I installed the amps today. Here is a quick summary. BB1200.4 For the tiny size of this amp, the output is exceptional. Currently, I am running BBPRO6.5's up front (rated at 150 Watts/side) and some BB650 coaxals in the rear (80 RMS/side). The sound is clear even at 3/4 volume (excruciatingly loud) and the amp's crossovers work without a hitch. I do not think it does the rated 200x4@4 Ohms RMS as advertised, but I think somewhere around 130X4@4 ohms would be accurate - it has no issues pushing the BBPRO's. It does get a touch warm after about an hour or so of playing, but my ventilation isn't great in that console. Very comparable to the old BB150X4's. BB4000.1 This thing is a beast, it is pushing a Fi BL 12 very well at 4 ohms, at about 3/4 volume the BL is moving very substantially (~80%) at a gain of about 1/4. I think the amp is slightly below 1500 watts at 4 ohms (perhaps 1300). I have not tested it yet at 1 ohm, I will do so soon - I really don't want to blow a new BL! It does get warm after about an hour of continuous playing, however I thing I could provide better ventilation behind the rear seat. I think this amp can so a solid 2000+ @ 1 ohm without sweating it. All in all, I am very pleased. I think these Planet Audio amps are very similar to the old BB amps (the BB2's, black and long [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] ), I think they can do roughly the same amount of power - if not more at lower impedance. They are substantially smaller, however, I see that as an advantage. For the $350 I spent for both amps, I could not have asked for more, easily one of the best purchases I've ever made in car audio.
