sold RFpunch amp,...is this Memphis an upgrade or downgrade

[drwang 10+ year member]

I sold a Fosgate Punch P8002 amp. I'm thinking about getting the Memphis 16-PRD1000.1 but not sure if this is an upgrade or downgrade lol. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif Did I make a mistake by selling the Punch amp? Everyone was bashing on my new school RF amp. Not that I felt peer pressure, but I want something better. Thanks guys.

It shows memphis has a THD of .05% and the RF of .08%. The memphis is lower....even at that little difference you wont notice anything. Even if the Memphis was at 1% I highly doubt you would notice a difference.

I think the benefits of the Memphis is more power and lower thd rating so less distortion. Seems like that's it but correct me if I'm wrong.

You're right, I just noticed that and edited the first post lol. I was looking at another amp while I posted this so I got the ratings mixed up.

seems to me like they are similar in almost every aspect except power output. The memphis is a solid amp though.
