Why so much?

[Biker 10+ year member]

I came across an Arc Audio 4150XXK 4 channel amp. Set it aside because it doesnt have much power.

80 watts x 4 @ 4 ohms, 160 watts x 4 @ 2 ohms, 320 watts x 2 @4 ohms bridged

Am thinking this isnt worth much as the power is so low, Then I look on E-bay and see there going for around $500.00

Arc Audio is more of a high end amp...maybe not the absolute top of the line but a solid amp none the less, you get what you pay for. F that brick and morter sh*t!

And besides - 640w in bridged operation isn't particularly "little" power in my book. Are there stronger amps out there? Yup. Are there lesser amps out there? Yup.

parts, design, build,name...... and so on //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I wouldnt buy that amp for $500 though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif. I cant think of very many amps I would buy off of ebay for that much money though.

I dont understand this, Ok my Rockford fosgate P4002 2 channel amp in bridged mode is powering my 2 10" subs at this rating 400W X 1 @ 4 ohms Because both subs are wired together for a total of 4 ohms that means each sub is getting 200 watts?

The arc audio is 320 X 2 @ 4 ohm Bridged.......... So help me out here...... I bridge my arc audio chanels 1 and 2 to 1 sub, And I can do that because I have dual voice coils..... The other sub gets channel 3 and 4 ? Thats 320 Watts each channel ?????? **** let me know because that arc audio amp is half the size of my RF.

Thanks

I'll help you out.

The amplifier is great, and power is not the deciding factor when chosing an amplifier.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif
