Best 4ch amp? Clear and loud. I should add that Im currently running the kennwood HU with the SS 1000D and dont want to lose any volume. will the 4180 be a huge upgrade? i should also add that I have not put the 7.1s in yet. They should be here Tuesday.

I've had both amps in my fairing and my experience was that I got better overall sound pushing the 7.1's with the 1000D. Loudness was comparably the same. YMMV.

 

Thanks. Thats interesting. Considering the price difference, I wouldve thought the 4180 would blow away the 1000D.

In my experience the tunability of the amp made all the difference. The 4180 is still a solid amp choice but for those that want more control over their audio, you want a tunable amp. There's better than the 1000D but it's a solid amp in its own right. I'm still running the 1000D and it performs flawlessly.

 

Installed the 7.1s last night. so far so good. Need to tweak the eq on the 998.

 

Totally agree!
