Which amp to power my 200w CDT eurosport

[kingfish405 10+ year member]

i have a set of ES-63i. i own both amps here. which do you think will drive these speakers cleaner?

CDT ES-63i

200watts rms

passive set up

1. Rockford Fosgate 800.2

2. Orion 8002

both amps are capable of 200watts x 2 @4ohms. i prefer the orion. both amps have been very reliable to me. the only drawback i see from both are:

Orion - gets hotter than the RF.

RF - has a weird design flaw - if you don't connect the remote bass control, the bass boost defaults to a lower setting.

both amps are very heavy and take a lot of space. the pdx would have been nice but i prefer not to spend on amps since mine are still working.

or you can get a four channel amp and bridge them.. that will be a cheaper way
