Stuck on 3 amps

[Fender5 10+ year member]

1)Rockford Fosgate Punch P450.4'

60 watts RMS x 4 at 4 ohms (110 watts RMS x 4 at 2 ohms)

$170

2)Kenwood Excelon KAC-X40

70 watts RMS x 4 at 4 ohms (100 watts RMS x 4 at 2 ohms)

$190

3)Infinity Reference 475a

75 watts RMS x 4 at 4 ohms (90 watts RMS x 4 at 2 ohms)

$170

Runnin 2 pairs of Infinity Speakers. 90W RMS & 100W RMS

Im beginning to think the Fosgate is going to be the best for the price. It is pushing more W RMS as well. Just want CA's opinion

i as well would go with the fosgate...

btw where u at in arkansas?

 

[lvjeffro 10+ year member]

since wattage and price are similar, why not go with the infinity and match your stuff up??

 

[fredridge 10+ year member]

very likely that fosgate is severely under rated and puts out considerably more power

Rogers. Is Sville Springdale?

I figured the Infinity Amp would match perfect. 10W isn't really much anyways.

smithville....about 3.5 hours from u...

Infinity should be cheaper

but if you can get btter deal on teh fosgate go for it

Is it south or East of Rogers

I'm running 4 gauge to my mono amp. Should I run 4 gauge to the 4 channel amp too.

I'm going to run a main power wire of 4 gauge. It barely fits under my panels.

i read on the fosgate reviews that the birth certificate some customers got said it put out 104W RMS @ 4 ohms!

Rockford for the price, and quality. They are under rated. I had a P5002 that was rated at 500WRMS x 1 @ 4 ohms, and put out 631WRMS x 1 @ 4 ohms according to the birth sheet. They are great amps, just make sure to keep it well ventilated, or keep your hands off of it, they get hot! (Not sure about the newer heatsink design, but the last model Punch lines got HOT.)

this is the amp. i'm really thinking about placing an order on it. Its either this or the Infinity. Kenwoods really good too. i have a kenwood mono amp. But i'm narrowed down to to 2. Leaning towards Fosgate
