    Need a new Amp - Suggestions Please

    OK - Been out on the boat a lot and pushing the wetsounds pretty hard... The Rockford amps are just not cutting it... I need to replace the amp that's driving the tower speakers at the very least... The sub amp (mono) is fine but the tower speakers can take a lot more than what I'm throwing at them... I don't want to spend a ton of money but I'm willing to do what's necessary to get them sounding good... Thanks in advance...

    Talk with SPBFan and he can get you some Arc Audio.... Awesome amps and run very cool. I haven't had a problem with them over heating yet.

        Yeah I was thinking about that... I should have elaborated a little more... I have 1 set of Pro 80's and 1 set of Pro 60's on the tower... They are running off of 1 pair of wires running from an RF P400-4 (I think, I'll have to double check)...

          I've had great luck with my JL Audio amps. I have 4 Pro 80's and I have 2 JL M4500's pushing them(1 pair each) and I have extra channels if I ever want to add anything else. They aren't to expensive, but you do get what you pay for. Of course you already know this if you have wetsounds. GL

              I am willing to bet my 1st born that the new Wet Sounds amps are gonna KICK A$$ if you're willing to wait a month or so!?






              actually come to think of it, my 1st born is getting to the mouthy, hormonal age.....I'll send her to you even if the amps are junk
              Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

                I am running a Kicker ZX 850.4 to my threesome. It does a great job powering the Wetsounds up top. I have been very happy with the kicker equipment I have.

                      I have 1 pdx 4.100 running 2 Bullet 660's (200x2) and are super clear at 80ft and you can still hear them at over 200ft.

                        These amps are sweet! they produce very little heat and are stackable. They are not cheap though.

                          The Arc Audio have the same characteristics. Contact SPBFan. I think he is a Arc Audio dealer now. I am sure he will give you a great deal.

                            The Kicker ZX850.4 will deliver 175 watts to all four speakers. Just a tiny bit over on the 150's, and a little under on the 80's, but a good solid amp that will run that setup of four 4-ohm loads all day real reliably.
                            It's not an optical illusion.
                            It just looks like one.....

                              I am in the same boat, looking for amp! But I am trying to work within a budget! Anyone using soundstream amps? Or have any experience with the soundstream tarantula series...???
