Default Cerwin-Vega B4

Has Anyone Tried a Cerwin-Vega B4Yet???
I currently have a Soundstream 4.520 and am tired of the fm reception problems, and am looking to swap it out. I know the fosgate amp is good but i have polk speakers and the 2 ohm impedence wont work with it.

There is one guy I know in the audio forum that is using the b2 on a '14 SG. He would know if there are fm reception problems with those amps.

signal "reception" involves the radio; it is not an amp issue

Some class D amps emit interference in the FM band. It all depends on the components used in the power supplies. Soundstream amps are notorious for blocking most FM and WB signals.

OK!! This Amp Rocks!!!!!!!
It is smaller and mounts a lot easier.
But the sound is now less tinny at all levels.

There was a few places with either guitar licks or some vocals that just about pierced my eardrums before that now i can hear the rest of the band without the pain.
And now 80 sounds as good as 50!!!!!
It made my mm651's come alive!!!
But as for the fm……. well its better but it aint good!!
Thats ok, 900+ songs in the iphone and pandora i can still rock all day long!!
