Looking for amplifier suggestions

ryboto · Post by **ryboto** » Fri Dec 28, 2007 7:18 pm

I had my mind set on an Eclipse XA4000, but I can't find one for a price I can afford. Can anyone suggest a quality 4 channel amplifier that will do anywhere from 75-120W RMS @ 4ohms? Price is an important consideration, but quality is a must, so I'd like to see what other brands offer in terms of price. I looked through a few brands on Sonicelectronix, and the prices all seem to be along the $299-350 range for the brands I've read to be high quality. I'd appreciate any and all suggestions, thanks in advance.

I'd prefer higher output if I can afford it.

If price is an issue, then look into the Crunch amps, either line GP or PZI will give you some good clean power @ 4 ohms and not break the bank

what is affordable for an xa4000? there is a circuit city warehouse store here that had them on clearance. i might be able to pick them up for you and ship. Let me go to the store and check the price again.

Well, there were two listings on Ebay, one for $235, one for $244, which is a lot better than the $350 at the cheapest Etailer. Thanks for checking, quite awesome of you.

well, the two listings are gone, I think they were sold. I sent messages to the sellers, but no responses yet. There hasn't been another listing for the amp since.

are you looking just for the EA series or the XA?

The XA, I hadn't really looked at the EA series.

so, the EA4100 is 75x4, as opposed to 125x4. It's also class AB, not D like the XA series. It's only $209 at Sonicelectronix...well within my range. Thing is, another user is selling a Kicker ZX650.4 and I'm on the verge of buying it from him for $170. A bit cheaper, and more power. So, still on the fence. Now there's possibly 3 amps I'm considering, just great!

Hmmm well i dunno what are you going to be driving with this amp?

BTW Eclipse is worlds better quality wise and sq than the Kicker... especially the EA
