Post Number: 7402 Registered: Jul-06	Posted on Monday, March 17, 2008 - 14:11 GMT Same Power Output - 2U or 4U Configuration PDX amplifiers have the unique capability to deliver the same power output regardless of 2U and 4U loads. This provides the ultimate in system flexibility and subwoofer configuration diversity. -Via alpines website. Quit spitting BS Cal!

Steve Rhodes Bronze Member Username: Originalfinch Post Number: 18 Registered: Mar-08	Posted on Tuesday, March 18, 2008 - 01:07 GMT Abarca---- I don't know much about car audio. I understand that it could use more power, but would this amp be sufficient for the w7?

cal payne Gold Member Username: Skibum12189 Cleveland Post Number: 2728 Registered: Mar-06	Posted on Tuesday, March 18, 2008 - 02:12 GMT btw, thank you rob for correcting me and also, i think you'd be happy with the w7, although the w6 would provide veryyy nice bass, the w7 is gonna end up being a bit louder. however, personally, i absolutely love the bass of both w7s and w6s and you'd be happy with both.

Ive personally sat in and listened to a car with a w6 and it sounded very nice...I agree
