Anyone running this amp or have any opinions about this unit? Looking into a 4 channel amp for 2015 SGS.

 

Easily the most popular amp ever used on this forum. Tons of post related to that amp.

Now that was a few years ago and I think there are better options these days. If this is for a 2015, what speakers do you plan on using and have you read into flashing your head unit or using a line leveler. You will need to do one or the other.

Personally in that price range the sister amp Power Acoustik RZ4.2000D sounds better.

I will be getting the line leveler just trying to choose an amp. Not sure about speakers yet. What do you recommend?? I will check out the sister amp as well.
Thanks

 

What's your budget for your entire set-up?

Honestly I was thinking amp and fairing speakers but leave room to expand the system, this is why I want a 4 channel amp. I was thing no more than $300-350
For amp and 2-6.5 speakers

 

The catch here is that the RZ4.2000D sounds pretty damn good with the Infinity Kappa speakers. BUT.....those speakers when placed in the outside of the pod will rub and tear. So you have to place them inside the pod and it doesn't as good. So you could do it that way, or find some speakers that mount well on the outside. Some folks have had luck running the Kickers on the outside of pods. The BT 6.5 Titans may also be a good fit. If you are already getting the line levelers they might give you a deal on the speakers as well. The Polks MM651 at 2.7 ohms could also work. They had some issues with the tweeter stalks a few years back, but I haven't seen anything posted recently.

Which ever speaker you go with, I'd drill out a 2-3 inch hole in the back of the pod to let air out. Other wise the pod will flex from the amplified sound and it will sound like distortion. A little bit of polyfill will help as well.

I'm trying to picture what on the the outside of the pod means?? Does that mean they can't be mounted like the stock HD speakers in the faring now? How will they rub or tear? Is it from being exposed with no grill?
So you would recommend the infinity kappa's right? Do they give out some mid-bass tone or is it all clear highs? I know that drilling the hole out in back will allow for some air to move which should be a good thing.

 

See BertK's thread with details on inside/outside pod and tearing of speakers.

I now understand what you want about pods and the tearing of speakers.
Do you know what the difference between line leveler and magic box is? There pretty much around same price,. You
