If you were going to use the 300x2, you could have saved your money and not done the pre-amp mod. The pbr likes the high input gains.

speakers are t165's, i don't have to use the pre amp. i was under the impression that it would drive a cleaner sound thru the amp. should have asked before i did it. thanks again for the help.

I have the RF300x2 with BT 7.1's on a stock HU running hi-level inputs (AP mode). Sound is awesome at 75 MPH.

I would have to say performance wise, taking all things into consideration, and $ was no object, the toss up would be between the 4180 and the J&M/Arc amps.

Most bang for the $ definitely goes to the SS amps if you can live with the FM issues.

this was from a thread I posted a while back
