Would this PG be acceptable for an all active setup using Max fidelity 30mm tweets and koda mids?

I've had PG amps before, and loved them, but I only had subs then. however I'm looking for really good SQ, and ample power, for things down the road as well. I'll never have a passive setup, since I'm probably going to be changing mids/tweets as my tastes change and music changes for awhile. I guess what I'm asking is if this is something that can stay with me and grow with me for my front stage. Or is there something else, thats just a bit more, that has more power and would work better?

Hmmm, would a 600.2 for the mids and a 400.2 for the tweets be overkill?

I would consider the Xtant and Diamond amplifiers as well.

Look at the JL 300/4. A better amp in my opinion for about the same price. Look at Nakamichi also.

I agree with the above comments, and would add Memphis, Earthquake, Eclipse and McIntosh amps into the mix. Phoenix Gold amps are OK, but not what I would recomend using for SQ.

I would also recommend Zapco amps for SQ, and for life span as I see is another concern.Zapco carries a three year warranty if installed by a dealer. In my personnal vehicle I have 2 Zapco 200s running mixed-mono on a set of MB Quart Q series components in the front and a set of coaxials in the rear, very crisp and clean sound. McIntosh..............mmmmmmm!! But very pricey!
