Have you seen the other version of these?Maybe this one can replace the Soundstream as the go to Budget 4 channel
i didn't know the 4 channels would do 1 ohm.. that amp tested at about what the 9604 rates at so it may do 160x4 at 4 ohm..Never saw that one before... Need to see if I can find it for sale...
Pioneer website says 130x4, its basically the same exact amp as the 8604i didn't know the 4 channels would do 1 ohm.. that amp tested at about what the 9604 rates at so it may do 160x4 at 4 ohm..
right so the 8604 tested higher than rated, i'm saying if same is true for 9604 it maybe close to 900.4Pioneer website says 130x4, its basically the same exact amp as the 8604
You arent getting it lmao.... The are literally the same amp. The 9604 is more accurately rated while the 8604 is underated.right so the 8604 tested higher than rated, i'm saying if same is true for 9604 it maybe close to 900.4
ok so this is just the newer version got ya.. thought it was upper modelYou arent getting it lmao.... The are literally the same amp. The 9604 is more accurately rated while the 8604 is underated.
Initially I thought the same thing but if you look at the GM-D8601 vs. the GM-D9601, the 9601 is physically longer and has a different board layout with a few more caps and transistors. The same is true for the comparison between the 8604 vs. 9604 with the 9604 being physically longer (the PDF illustrates this) so, although I haven't been able to compare the guts yet, there's a slim possibility that it has a few more components inside to support the marginally higher power ratings or bolster the reliability of the same actual power. Maybe not, maybe the heatsink is just longer for the sake of consistency. Or maybe it's an even bigger sleeper. Seems like the 8601 & 8604 are being phased out in favor of the slightly improved 9601 & 9604, rated for a bit more power and with any luck maybe even sounding better due to lower noise or whatever. Couple links to compare guts. Bonus vid for essqews.You arent getting it lmao.... The are literally the same amp. The 9604 is more accurately rated while the 8604 is underated.
