assuming they both do rated, id do the 850 for the two amps and used the savings on electrical upgrades.

Do you think 1 might be more dependable than the other?

2 smaller amps at this point are more reliable than 1 huge amp.... for most cases.

2 amps that's the way to go.if you have any skill setting the gain's shoulden't be a problem

2 amps... it'll just be harder to set the gains on both to be the same...

So like 2 audiopipe apx 3500.1s or 2 RD audio 3250.1 instead of a sundown 4500?
