I am looking at replacing the Cadence 4ch amp I have in my X2 and need a little advice since all the stereo "gurus" at my local shops seem to have strong opinions about which amps are good & bad. I currently have 4 Clarion marine 6.5" separates in the boat wired in parallel (2 ohms) to the 2 front channels on my amp. They are rated at 100W max. These will eventually be replaced over the summer but they are the benchmark for now. I have 2 Infinity Kappa 60.5cs separates on my tower wired at 4ohms to the rear 2 channels. They are rated at RMS 90W and PEAK 270W. I have been looking at the following amps: PPI DCX300.4 which provides 75Wx4 @ 2ohm JL Audio 300/4 which provides RMS 75Wx4 @ 1.5-4ohm Rockford Fosgate 801x which provides RMS 200Wx4 @ 2 ohm Orion 4004 which provides 100Wx4 @ 2 ohm I have lots of experience with the PPI and JL stuff and know its quality but a little spendy. I was leaning towards the RF amp but have been told their amps are not nearly as good as they used to be. Opinions?
