Need Help Choosing 4-Channel Amp 150Wx4 @ 4ohms

Post by zaftafa »

I currently have 4 a/d/s speakers which a friend bought for me a long time ago so I don't know exactly which model they are but the instruction manual is for 234im, 235im, and 236im. I am looking for a new power amp that can put out full power to these speakers, they can handle up to 150W @ 4 ohms according to the instruction manual. Please advise on which amp would be the best for the job. Thank you.

I am also using a JL Audio 12w6v2 subwoofer and I will be installing a PG X600.1 to power that. Right now the speakers and the sub are hooked up to a Soundstream TRA880.5.

I would find a x200.4 or x100.4 they would be great for the highend
it will match your amp also

I agree with kg. The 200.4 would be very nice but it is doubtful that those comps need that much. I've owned several ads sets including the ones you mention and I ran them between 50-100 watts and they rocked. Here's a spectacular amp that retailed at well over a grand that you could steal on ebay. just a thought in case you were on the fence.

Many believe this particular amp to be the best that Zapco has made to date. I have owned it and I can say that it is a very flexible, powerfully clean amplifier. If this was for sale before I bought my Genesis I would have it on my amp rack.

I tried to send a PM with that username, but it said that no such name exists, how can I get a hold of him? Also, what do you think of the new Alpine PDF-X6?
