Hey guys I ll be powering a Component + Coaxial setup with a 4 channel AMP that I have to buy in the next 3-4 days. I will be buying from US and it will be brought along by my friend when he returns in the next week.
My speakers -
Coaxials - JBL GTO 949
JBL - GTO 949 - 6 inch x 9 inch 3 Way Coaxial Speakers (400 W) [Pair Of Speakers] - Buy Online @ Snapdeal.com
Component system - JBL GTO 649C
JBL - GTO S649C - 6.5 Inch Two Way Component Speakers (270W) [Pair of Speakers] - Buy Online @ Snapdeal.com
So coming down to the amplifier - I have short-listed these four amps -
(all are 4 channel amps)
Amplifier------------------------------------class---------------cost---------------- RMS@4ohms--------------RMS@2ohms
Rockford fosgate R400-D----------------D------------------150$--------------------75W------------------------100W
DD audio c4c------------------------------A/B ----------to be verified---------------60W------------------------80W
Alpine MRV F300---------------------------D------------------130$--------------------50W------------------------75 W
JL audio JX 360/4------------------------A/B-----------------170$--------------------70W------------------------90W
Links for the above 4 -
1 - PRIME Amplifiers - R400-4D - Rockford Fosgate®
2 - C4c | DD Audio
3 - Amazon.com: JX360/4 - JL Audio 4-Channel 360W Class A/B Amplifier: Electronics
4 - Alpine Electronics of America, Inc.
I like RF R400d the most because it is a class D amp and thus is expected to be more efficient and its a 2006 CEA compliant so the ratings cannot be fake - RF claims 80% efficiency at 4 ohms and 75% efficiency at 2 ohms.
Second on my list is the DD C4C - simply because of the reviews I read on the Indian forums and is recommended a lot here. I will confirm its price in a day or two.
Third on my list is Alpine MRF V 300 because it is very popular as a budget amp and like the r400d is a 2006 CEa compliant so the ratings are bound to be true. It would mean slightly less power compared to other amps on the list but would surely save some money for petrol.
Fourth and the last one on my list is the JL audio JX 360/4 - the amp seems to be good but is priced a good 20$ above the R400D and C4C so I am skeptical about going for this one.
