Default Amp choice

I was waiting on a Stinger amp, but just got offered a great deal on a RF TM400-4. Are they comparable?

$180, all hardware, cables and mount. Used 3 months. I figured if it wasn't what I needed I could get that back out of it.

that's a good deal. this amp has served me well. if you are not pleased with it you can easily recoup what you paid and more.

Shriner I ran one of those amps for a while and liked the amount of power for the size. One thing I will mention is a buddy of mine found out that it interfered with FM reception when it was on top of his head unit. He said when he swapped it out for the Stinger he got his reception back. I just thought I'd mention that in case you listened to your FM radio much.

Also if your head unit has low voltage outputs the RF won't get as loud. It's a good amp, but because it requires such a fat signal to make it sing it makes me wonder if they designed it primarily for speaker level input. If you are thinking of using speaker level inputs with it though it might be just the ticket for you if the FM interference doesn't concern you. It is definitely a good sounding amp.
