I agree the Kicker KX700.5 would be a better choice.....

Thanks for the feedback guys. Why do you think it would be a better choice? The only thing it's give me more is ALOT more power for my comps. I don't run rear fill and 165w/ch is ALOT for my comps to handle. Wouldn't you think the 650.4 would be a good choice? 90-120w/ch for comps and an underrated 325w to the 250w subs. Should be good, no? I can see the 700 being ideal if i used rear fill, and possibly more flexibility down the road, but right now i can't afford the extra $50 or so. I'm leaning toward the 650...

Should be good, no? the 700 only provides a measly 210w at 4 ohms. I can see the 700 being ideal if i used rear fill, and possibly more flexibility down the road, but right now i can't afford the extra $50 or so...especially if the 650 can give me sufficient power for comps and more for subs. I'm leaning toward the 650...
