I need a new amp and cant decide on a hifonics amp or mabe something else i was looking at a ppi. I have two infinty refrance 12s 300rms@ 4ohms svc

For hifonics the warrior merlin would work:154 bucks

RMS Power: 200W x 1 @ 4 Ohms

Bridged RMS Power: 300W x 1 @ 2 ohms

or the zues zx4400 2x220 @4 ohms a 4 ch amp

or the nx440 nemisis a 4 ch amp 

both of these can be had for around 180-250

or the ppi PPI PCX-480\RB 4ch 640watts 200 bucks

  • 80 x 4 Watts @ 4 Ohms Stereo
  • 160 x 4 Watts @ 2 Ohms Stereo
  • 320 x 2 Watts @ 4 Ohms Mono
  • After looking at these amps i am a little lost ??? what is the better amp?

    Also i need new speakers for the front speakers. i would drive them off of my head unit. what i had in mind was the infinity componets 120 bucks

    frequency response 67-21,000 Hz

    power range 2-75 watts RMS

    Or the pg componets   69bucks

    Phoenix Gold R5.0COMP

    5.25 inch (130mm) 2-way comp system

    70 watts rms   fr=60-24000 Hz

    or.........

    Phoenix Gold TX5.0COMP 100bucks

    5 Inch 2-Way Component System

    75watts rms fr=75-20000 Hz

    and.......

    I know it's not uncommon to run the front speakers off the head unit, but in my opinion that is for the person who wants the loud THUMP and isn't interested in achieving a well-rounded quality sound.  Consider using amps to power all your components.

    Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.
