New member Username: ChitownzPost Number: 1 Registered: Jul-06 | I recently purchased Focal k2ps and need a 4 channel amp powerful enough to get full performance. Was thinking about the Phoenix Gold xenon 200.4 or the new Alpine Pdx4.150. Any thoughts or suggestions? |

Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, OR U.S. Post Number: 2806 Registered: Oct-05 | ok, i didnt know you had two other speakers in the back that you wanted to power up. That amp would work perfect for those speakers. because it's be givin them around 150-200 per. |

New member Username: ChitownzPost Number: 6 Registered: Jul-06 | Thanks for the advice. BTW, the mac amp looks nice but @100/channel wouldnt be enough power anyway. |
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, OR U.S. Post Number: 2812 Registered: Oct-05 | yea it would. its underrated. those amps are like the cream of the crop. it'll put out 200 easily. remember, if your speaers are 100rms, you dont want to give them much over that. max of 200. mcintosh would be great and you could sell it for a hel alot in the future |
