I'm currently in the process of upgrading the stock speakers in my 07 F-150 and have decided on going with 6.5" Component Rainbow SLC265 Kicks in the front doors, and SL165 coaxials in the rear doors.

I'm currently in the market for a decent 4 channel amp to drive all four sets, and would like to keep prices low without sacrificing quality. I have been looking at the following:

USAmps XTERMINATOR XT-1600.4
Powerbass ASA-600.4
SoundStream EGA4220 EDGE

Of these three amps, which would you recommend, and for what reason? I'm open to going with other brands as well provided they are within the same price range and have a 80 Hz (12 dB/Oct.) high pass crossover built into the amp that I can use for the 265 kicks.

Thanks!

 

I've got the US AMPS XT-1600.4 and although I haven't hooked it up yet I've heard a lot of good things about them. Here's the US AMPS Offical forum. If I only had a few more hours in the day Sorry I can't give you a good answer as I haven't researched the other amps.

 

I've also heard good thing about US AMPS, I myself run and like Eclipse amp.. but they will not be in your price range... can't say on the rest of your list as I know nothing about them....

 

I run my Germs on a US Amps MD22. It's a great amp and drives them perfectly. There is a couple of guys giving the Germs more power that I am (200w) but this is plenty for me.

I would go that route. I had a PowerBass amp before and for the money, they are decent, but I don't think they are in the same class as the US Amps.

 

I like US Amps. I am not sure about that specific series, but US Amps is a very reliable amp company overall.

 

Yeah, US Amps all the way. Reliable and low noise.
