if you wallet permits id suggest the Helix as well pretty much a no brainer in terms of power output at 4 ohms bridged.... you gonna use your passives for the comps so you'd get 250 x 2 at 4 ohms... twice the power of the RF amp...

Plus the helix is so much sexier [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

you even have enough power to probably go active on your setup

I would definitely grab the HElix if you have the cash for it. IF you dont mind saying, how much are you getting the amp for?
