Which Cheap 4 channel

[shortyg83 10+ year member]

Ok so I am going to buy a 4 channel amp friday. I need at least 90wrms but would rather 100 or more per channel at 4 ohms.

Budget is 150 shipped.

These are my current 2 choices

or

which of those 2 would be better. Or are there other choices I should look at?

Why the infinity? sound better? better quality? I was a little iffy it would actually put out that much power.

That infinity amp shares the same PCB with it's JBL cousin, IIRC (I know the 7541a does). Both are Harmon Kardon companies.

Scan around for the 7541a, you should be able to pick one up at a very enticing price from here, eBay, or leftover new stock or even a refurb with warranty.

the 7541a cost around 75 dollars more

Go with the 7540a then. Pretty much the same amp, just a different release year and naming convention.

What is making you say the infinity over ther autotek just curious

The Infinity will do rated power (the Autotek is likely a little overrated) and I'm willing to bet the overall build quality of the Infinity is better. Not to mention I have a 7541a and 611a, so I can vouch for them. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I started to get one those jbl amp has a very good build quality, saw its guts on ampguts very well put together plus it look s good too, but I just couldn`t pass up a PPIDCX 1000.4 for 230.00 dollars and its power ratings are all 12.5 volts.

out of the three you put up there i would go with the eclipse anyday, plus it has a lot more adjustment etc., that may aid you in not having to buy a crossover.

im a little sceptic on the eclipse because it only puts about 75w per channel as opposed to the 111 the infinity puts out.

 

[wesl56 10+ year member]

if u can get the eclipse for the same price, heck chyeah

Nod for the Eclipse at that price because of the features.
