Which to power Boston pros?

[Park]

Ok, i have narrowed my selection down to these amps to power a pair of boston pro 60's:

Orion 4004 - 200 x 2 bridged 4ohms- $200

Ed Nine.4 - 150 x 2 bridged 4ohms - $200 ( i like the 3 year warranty)

Rockford P4004- 200 x 2 bridged 4ohms- $200

please tell me which i should get, because i can not make up my mind..

i would say it's a toss up between the orion and rockford. the ed falls out of the raise do to less power then the other 2. rockford may win out because i have heard they have been very underrated. i've ran rockford amps before and they are very solid amps. the orion would be a good choice as well.

i agree, but im really attracted to that 3 year warranty. and i dont mind giving them 150 instead of 200. Infact, i now came across this soundstream vga600.2

Didnt they stop making these? How do soundstreams perform?

not a bad amp but i would rather have one of the others you listed. also remember those comps are 3 ohms so you'll get a little more power out of the amp. the ED 9.4 would be a good choice. i think those bostons would like the higher power though. i feed my bostons about 280 watts rms a piece.

Go with the Rockford. Iceteebone gave you good advice. Rockford has been building kick a$$ amps for 25 years.

i would go with Orion because i have a boner with Orion products and dont like rockfords new stuff because i have heard they arent as efficient as they use to be in the old days correct me if im wrong.. its just that orion hasnt had that said about them.
