Which is better?

I know PPI and Soundstream share the nano line, the 520.4 is the same for both, I want to say there was 1 more company that shared it, but I cant put my finger on it.
I know the VFL 2680.1 is a mini beast, thats why i bought it, I was impressed with it when I saw it was on a single 15" sub, lol.

Ihavent done enough research on the PPI amps myself, just that the 900.4 is a well sought after amp by most experienced well know audio peoples,and the testing for the 520.4.If you can hold off and get that 150.4 repaired and up and running, thats a BA little amp in itself, loud and clean.I sold it to the neighbor due to only not enough to keep up with my 4 xfl 12s at the time..kinda wished Id kept it,for my install now..But he isnt giving it back up..lol.Ya that 26801 is a little monster man..no doubt...My 4480s are impressive as well..Enough for me anyways..lol

I just hope the 150.4 is good for the VFL 65 MBs in my front doors.

Oh it will be plenty,and sound clean too.Its one of the cleanest amps Ive experienced,other than the Zed Micros in the newer amps Ive ran across,and Im an old school Zed freak.Great amp..you will be very happy with it

The 900.4 has more power of course.I havent ran one yet,and cant speculate on it..But I can vouch for the AB 150.4 and the 26801 d you have

Last time I ran my 2100s on door speakers was NOT a good outcome.

2005 in a 2005 silverado. Pioneer deh-860mp. Supposedly 6.5v preouts.

When I turned it on, it went to POP...POP....POP....POP...POP.

Locked up both PB XL components. I was livid.

When I installed my EQ215X to soften this out....the voltage output was constantly fluxing...with the head unit at maybe 15% vol.

brought it to shop...guy replaced it and my components for free. It was a defunct unit. LOL. (still the 860mp was the best Pioneer I've had)

Ya know. I've seen this, and heard the whole "those amps are sh1t, and weak as fork"....

Riddle me this...how can an 800w amp melt 00g knu cables?

Constant clip? Sign me up! Drove my 15s like crazy! (hence why I bought another, and at 1 point had 3-225s, 1-250, and 2-2100s)
