    Hi

    It is really difficult the find any reviews regarding this amp.

    Do you have any idea how it sounds or etc ?

    I have JL Audio a4300 amp and looking for a little more power (jl produces make 4*70 while zapco produces 4*100) ..

    what do you think if you compare them ..?

    thank you.

    if you are looking at it for 30 watts. it may get you a lil bit louder but not much i dont think. I know with subs, if you double the power, theoretically it is also a 3db increase. this is on a much smaller scale. if you are looking at it for better sound, you may notice that the THD on the I-Force is .1%. these are the lower quality amps they produce. The higher quality is .05% THD which is much better. Zapco is good stuff though

    So I think you don't recommend this to replace with JL audio a4300.
    right ? not a necessary upgrade ? ?

    wow nice price on that! and gotta love the crossover too. 24db per octave is nice. my M44 has very close to the same specs. mine has .02 THD. very clean sound.

    The sub wants between 300-350.. for the optimal performance ... but it can handle up to 500rms ... and it has single 4ohm coil.
    I can find the lower model of the mbquart here... as you have recommended but it is 4*50 which basically not enough...

    and I can find the pzi series of the crunch amps.. those are recommended by some people to because of my sq needs..

    Thank you guys,

    I have found & bought Audison 4.1k. It was actually 2nd hand and the owner is a friend of mine in our local car audio forums.

    Thanks for your help
