So, i need some advice on which amp I should decide... I'm looking at a Pioneer and an eclipse. The Pioneer amp is 200 dollars and the eclipse is 300 dollars and I want to get my money worth.

Here is the pioneer:

Here is the eclipse:

Now, should I go with the pioneer or spend the extra 100 dollars on the eclipse? Right now I have a poppy 1200 watt sony xplode amp, which ill just use for my sub, but I want to get a cleaner sound to my speakers and wanted to know which of those two amps would be the best. They're both 4 channel amps and look like what I need to power my two front speakers. They will be powering 300 watt memphis mclass 16-sync components and possibly 260 watt pioneer speakers.

 

I say go with the Eclipse and spend the extra 100 or else down the road, you'll being saying to urself "man why didn't I get the eclipse?"

 

as said above, go with the eclipse. I work at circuit city and have experienced both since we sell both and the eclipse is a much more powerful unit and the power it does produce is way cleaner. less noise, higher quality sound, even on factory speakers. just my .02

 

XA4000 is an awesome amp for the money

 

Hey i also at circuit city, install, and i agree with all of the posts so far. Pioneer makes good radios but that is about where it ends, unless you spend hundreds of dollars. Get the eclipse amplifier, i plan on getting one if that helps. What kind of continuous power do those speakers require?

 

50 Watts rms continuous, 100 watts rms max power.... but i might be upgrading to a pair of eclipse components, 300 watts rms max and 100 watts rms continuous
