i found it... looks to be 400W x 1 @ 2 ohm rms....

my 2x2 ohm sub cant do a 2ohm amp only 4 and 1 and that amp at 4ohm would only give me 250w rms

it never made it to production.http://phoenixphorum.com/house-cleaning-vt12232.htmlg said 400x1 4 ohm so maybe there was a change from trying and make it
i will take a class a/b over class d anyday
sorta like back in the day a m25 25x2 sounds better than most 200x2 from clarion alpine ect
they just sound better and it cool there is only 6 ever one heard by pg and the other 5 are for sale
im taking 2 or 3 I think

it is a a/b amp, but as stated above. its a 200@4ohm and 400@2ohm amp. there are only 6 of them because pg was bought by aamp before they were put into production

the 4001 a better amp then the mb quart, but optimized for 2ohms, so it wont make the power you want. the ryval 2 channel one the other hand isnt much better as it doesn't have a port for a bass remote.

i would actually watch either of these guys

i know on paper 300@4ohms from that tantrum doesn't sound as good as 500@1ohm ....but i will bet you dollars to Canadian dollars it would beat the tar out of the mbquart amp.

and they both have lpl ports

that PHOENIX GOLD Tantrum 500.2 is Bridged RMS Power: 500W x 1 @ 4 ohms ... that would work...hhhhmmmmmmm

i think 1/2 the price and a one of 6 is way cooler
pg will always sound great a/b will be better than any class d
but its just me

even the tantrum 300.2 is surprisingly beefy.

none of the amps mentioned are class d
