[QUOTE="Alrojoca, post: 8130087, member: 638714"] Reporting back on this thread. I tried both, I had the JBL for a while and loved the power, decided to install the the Kappa, tried the gains in different settings. I noticed the Kappa had a brighter sound, I would not say quite crisper sound but the power was not nearly close compared to the JBL. Any thoughts? the Kappa being a class D should be significantly better. That is why I mentioned the Specs on the JBL are way under rated. Just thought I would share this, any comments are appreciated. Also someone using a JBL amp like mine said he got better power with one of the newest cheaper Rockford's 5 ch $250 amp. I seriously doubt it. And yes I had the last 2 ch on the JBL bridged at 300 watts, and played with the gains on the kappa set it to max and never reached the power I had dialed in with the JBL. I am very surprised, and I may repeat the test again but I played quite a bit after being disappointed. Due to room/space issues I am considering an Alpine MRV 70 or PDXV9. [/QUOTE]
