well i was going to get 2 arc audio KAR amps but they are back ordered. so the shop i was buying my stuff from was going to give me 2 foose amps instead. so im going from the KAR 400.4 to the FD4100 and from the KAR 1000.v1 to a FD1200.1. so the watts are the same on the 4 channel amps. but the new sub amp is now 100 watts more than the last one. so im getting this new upgrade for $158 more. what do you guys think? is it worth it? the guy said that the FD1200.1 usually goes for $700 and i am getting it for $499. are the foose edition amps that much better then the KAR series? any help would be great. thanks
Foose series is now the replacement line for the XXK series. The internals are the same but the heat sink is different. In my opnion they are some of the better amps on the market.
The kar line is a lower line that is ok, but not nearly as nice as the Foose or SE lines, so yes that is a killer deal, that I wouldn't hestiate to do.

I just bought two ARC Audio FD-1200.1’s … and I like them… they are good amps + they are strippable… some quick spec’s and features Class – H technology (has the efficiency of class d but with the low THD of class A/b), Damping factor >2100, 1,010 watts 0.02 THD @ 2 ohms, 1,100 watts 0.02 THD @ 1 ohm loads. Regulated Power Supplies, Clipping indicator LED, Strappable (meaning with 2 u can bridge them without special proprietary cables 2 buy) Butterworth X over is variable 30 – 250 hz. Bass boost is variable 30 to 80 hz + 18db. Variable sub sonic filter 10 – 80 hz. Phase switch 0 – 180 deg. Impedance selector switch 2 or 1 ohm. Cooling fan, the list goes on and on… but last but not least "Robert Zeff" had a lot of involvement in the designed
