Default DB drive Neo4

Anyone ever used one of these? GBS has a good deal on then, and the specs and size look pretty good. Now that I like my sound, I'm trying to work towards cleaning everything up and allowing room to add TP Pod speakers.

Trying to keep 200+ watts at 2ohms. I really wish it had front connections though.

What about the Focal Sport? Seems to have good specs and size. The SD 1200.4 meets all my needs, but its huge. Even with my J&M tray, I think it looks hard to wire up the sides.

Focal is too expensive. If you can get a deal on it- take it. But not for 800$ it's too much. Maybe it's time to put amp in the tour pak or saddlebag?

the DB drive neo is pretty powerful IMO i had them hooked up to my DB drive gen 2 and they screamed, i had it with my factory head unit. I think there is a youtube video showing someone testing the actual output of the amp and is was at or above the manufactures wattage.

I think it is a good amp for the price. I took it off my motorcycle and about to put it on my SXS with two 8" wakeboard speakers. The reason i took it off was i found a good deal on the stinger amp.

Does pretty close to rated power.
I have done a back to back comparison of a NEO4 and a SPX7004 and it was pretty close.
The SPX had a little more punch.

You can find the NEO4 for $89 refurb on Amazon and eBay right now. At that price point
its the best amp on the market right now.

I wonder how hard it would be to move to bag mounted amp/amps? I dont mind using the bags, because I'm getting the tour pak for storage. Can I get 2 800.4s in one bag? That would leave the other open for a 10.
