[QUOTE="Ekeko, post: 3533424, member: 581297"] I like them both. The PDX sounds clearer to me in the mids. It's easier in the 'lectrical & easier to hide. It does get hot & it desn't work (as) well when bridged to push midbass or subs. We put one on my wife's car & she loves it...but we had to get her a separate sub amp. The new Power amps sound way better than the last generation RF amps (which I disliked). It's almost as clean in the middle but with better midbass than the PDX. It also works (very) well when bridged - mine pushes a w3 w. no problem. It draws less than other A/Bs but not as efficent as the PDX. Runs cool too. About the only quirk I found with the T400 was a slight emphasis on the bass/highs; once I was able to figure that out, I was able to get a nice frequency response with the rest of my install. My advice: go listen to the PDX in Cartoys & compare them to a good A/B amp (300/4?)...they have good setups. The T400 sounds closer to the 300/4 than to the PDX...then you will figure out if the PDX are for you...they do sound a bit different. Bring a CD that has tracks with midbass, mids & highs that you are familiar with. They are both really good amps in their price range and practical to work with. You can build a great system around either for not too much$$$.... PS. I also had to change her tweeters to soft domes (with the PDX). She claims that they now sounded "harsh". She was running an Eclipse amp in her car before... [/QUOTE]
