At the present time I have a 250w directed amp powering a pair of JBL components in the front and in the back 6 1/2 JBL 2-way speakers in the rear. I plan on adding another set of components. I want to upgrade my amp.

Any suggestions on a multi-channel amp?

 

so you are going to have 2 sets of components in the car???

 

Arc Audio 4150-XXK

The amp does 80 x 4 @ 4 ohms.

 

I've been very pleased with my Eclipse EA-3422 4 channel in the year I've owned it.

Yes, i will have another set of components. I'm going to put them in the front kick panels.

 

Arc Audio is a very good amp. If you want something alittle less expensive, but still a excellent amp go with Memphis Audio 16-MCA3004. 75 x4. Or if a 2 channel amp is what you need 16-MCA300 150 x 2 .http://www.memphiscaraudio.com/produ...ails.asp?id=11
Memphis makes very good amps.

 

Arc is def the way to go IMO as well. Not a memphis fan though. I have seen the other side and haven't looked back.

 

I know I will get for this but since you asked for opinions....

I plan on picking up a MA Audio HK598 in the near future to complement 2 MA Audio HK2000Ds that I have on my subs. Here's the link:

http://www.maaudio.com/productcatalog.cfm?class=47472 (200 x 4 @ 4ohms for around $200 ~ and so far my other amps are doing their rated power)

Just my $0.02...good luck w/ whatever you decide

Oh..forgot to mention that I am replacing an older Eclipse 3240 (I think) 4-channel (35 x 4 RMS)

 

No flames man. Everyone has their own taste and budget.

 

Thank you for your mercy

 

Oh no doubt. Arc and Zapco are two of the best amps out. But expensive. I was just saying for a someone on a budget.

 

PM SC2K1. He may have something for ya. Diamond Audio D3 4ch. And the price can't be beat.

 

When US Amps re-releases thier AX line, you might want to consider them as well

 

Speaking of US AMPS. I have a tu4360 for sale. 75x4 of pure hybrid vacuum tube power. My favorite amp of all time. To each his own but I say it sounds better than ANYTHING out there (sounds no different than other high end tube amps)

Re-release AX line?? AX line just came out this year. Supposedly it's the same as the old usa and tu line only it's made in Korea instead of the US. Korea=junk.

 

BTW NisAznMonk, you have a REALLY nice truck. I love the stealth install. Looks like you have a USA2000 back there. I just bought a USA3000 (same circuit board as the 2000, only 1000 more watts and more stuff on the board)

I love us amps.

 

Thanks. The picture is the USA-2000 because of a shipping error from US Amps. I do have the USA-2000x now, after 3 months of waiting

The AX line will be re-released in after the CES show in jan 06. Not sure why they are re-releasing it, but they haven't produced any current AX amps for several months now.
