5 channel amp question
Looking for recommendations on a 5 channel amp to power 4 cabins speakers and 1 10" sub.
Looking at these models. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...r-MX700.5.html http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...io-M700-5.html http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...ne-PDX-5M.html I am not really convinced I need to buy a marine amp because where I am mounting the amp will never get wet unless the boat sinks. I would like the amp to run cool although I doubt it will be pushed that hard. |
Definitely go alpine pdx.
The digital class amps run cooler, consume less amperage, and push constant power across different ohm loads. I just redid my stereo with 2 Alpine pdx's. That being said, if you want a Marine amp, go with teh PDX 5m. I opted to go with a non-marine, and got the PDX-V9 for the same price as the 5m. The V9 is a beast, at 4x100 and 1x500. Check ebay for new PDX amps. I think you can beat those prices you posted. |
Why not this:
http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...%5BIgnore%5D=1 I have this and it's a pretty good amp. Very comparable power specs to the others, marine rated and a lot cheaper. |
Alpine has discontinued their marine line if that has any bearing on your decision.
Second........you can save yourself a ton of cash and open your options by running a 4 channel amp to power 4 cabins and a 10 sub. What kind of speakers/rms wattage do you need? And what sub/rms wattage as well. 5 channel amps are very limited and cost a bit more . In most "standard" cases a decent 4 channel is a better route to save cash and get you good rms power for 4 cabins and a 10inch sub |
