Number 2 has more noticable high end. May be cleaner sound. Which at speed the highs might end up ripping your ears off.
The exhaust sounds better in the first vid. LoL

First there were some very interesting answers on which was warmer , clearer ect. Both amp were set up the same with hp filters on 80 in front and 60 in rear. Both front and rear gains were set up for the speakers used meaning the rear gains were a bit more than the front. As I stated the front speakers are wdx 6 motos and the rears are hertz mpx 690.3.
I was hoping that Gann, Bates and TW would give me their thoughts. I know that taking a vid on a phone just doesn't do ANY sound set up justice but there are some distinctive differences as most picked up on.
Ok one amp was a tm400x4ad and the other one was a focal fdp sport. The tm400xad is rated at 100wx4 and the focal fdp sport is rated at 175w x4.
You guys tell me which you think is which.

I'll be the first to guess. Have not heard either one in person so this is purely a guess. Focal is in vid 2.
Ok, hurry up and do the reveal. I have money burning a hole in my pocket and need to buy something.

Sometimes 100w sounds louder, or better, than 150w because of dynamics. 1000hz test tone when measured is a flat line, but music goes up and down and although 150w was measured to produce more voltage than 100w, the actual sound may be more dynamic from the 100w amplifier.
