Any comments or opinions on Eclipse 4-channel amps?? I have the Eclipse 36401 (50Wx4) currently and it sounds very good. I may be looking to upgrade in the near future, mainly because I'm never satisfied, lol. But anyways, should I stick with Eclipse or are they other amps that sound way better, that I might not know about. Eclipse and Power Acoustik(not good) are the only 4-ch amps I've had in my car. I've never really heard any others. What are some good Quality 4-ch amps??? Im looking to stay in the $300 range. |

eclipse is probably the cleanest you'll get for mids and highs, just make sure your fedding them a solid 8 volt preout from either an eclipse head unit, or I ran mine through an audio control line driver. If the amp "sees" 8 volts or something close in the RCA's, then you will be impressed, and probaly is unmatched in clarity- so just invest that $300 in an audio control dsp equalizer or somthing similar, after that, you'll have competition ready mids and highs. check www.audiocontrol.com |

Eclipse makes very good amplifiers, utilizing dual toroidal transformers. Good build quality.
If you want alternatives:
JL Audio 300/4
Kicker KX300.4
Sinfoni AMPLItude 120.4x
Zapco (zapco dot com) several models |

MY MAIN CONCERN IS GETTING FULL POWER OUT OF THE AMP WITHOUT FRYING IT. I'LL EITHER ADD OR SUBTRACT SUBS TO GET THE PROPER OHM LOAD I ALREADY HAVE A POWER-LINE 250 AMP ALTERNATOR 2 1-FARAD CAPS AND A YELLOW TOP BATTERY.I'VE ALSO GOT 4-GUAGE RAN TO THE TRUNK.IS THIS NOT ENOUGH? |

use 4 of the 12" subs, if they are 4 Ohms per coil.
wire the coils in parallel to get four 2 Ohm subs.
place two subs in parallel on each channel of the 2100HCCA.
that'll be a stereo 1 Ohm load, which is the max for that amplifier.
great amp by the way.

Orion 21--HCCA:
100wRMS x 2 @ 4 Ohms Stereo @ 12VDC
200wRMS x 2 @ 2 Ohms Stereo @ 12VDC
400wRMS x 2 @ 1 Ohm Stereo @ 12VDC
you'll get 200wRMS per sub.
