Default Arc audio XDI Amps?

I wanted to get some feedback on the arc audio amps. Currently I have a sound stream 1000 W watt amp. I have a chance to get an arc audio XD I 600.4 amp Really cheap. Will this amp be better than the Soundstream
Or am I good with what I got.

Default My opinion

If you can get it cheap enough, I would by it. Then you could swap them back and forth and make your own judgment.

Better quality amp with better clarity. Cheap is good. If we were talking retail price vs. SS price I'd say keep what you have. But I'd keep the SS as well. Check em both out and see which one you prefer.

If you don't like it I'll buy it from you. If you don't buy it, tell your friend I'll buy it asap from him.

The arc has better clarity but is not as warm sounding. The 1000D is equally loud, has better bass sound to it, but not as clear. I think your issues are gonna get fixed with the line leveler from BT. The magic box robs to much dynamic sound that regardless what amp you use it won't reach its full potential. The 1000D with Arc speakers sounded great in Scott's vid. Your bike shoul sound similar with the Hertz (I had hcx connected to a 1000D and it was a very rich sound). Me......I'd try both amps with the BT levelers. If u don't like the arc xdi I'll buy it from u.

Oh and the biggest advantage the 1000D has is the power it in parallel so you can power more speakers from it.
