the regular punch amps just have 2 channels ant the 400a4 you are talking about has 4 channels. are you running the amp with all of your speakers to it? or is it all going to the subs? if just the subs then you dont need 4 channels.

Power Amps.....

If I remember correctly, the Punch amps are like normal amps, but the Powers are a little bit stronger, can go into lower impedances, and are slightly more efficient.... sort of like a higher end RF amp.

just remember that eventhough its a 400a4 it will have way more watts that it says. I have a 250a2 and it actually was tested to have 398 watts
