Zapco, Audison, Eclipse.... you bought some great speakers, give them some great power. Personally I think that the power your looking for is a little much, your thoughts on this? If you are going to be ***** to the wall with the output levels all the time, sure, go with the power but I just don't think that you'll need it. Start small, if it is not big enough, we can upgrade you then.

The 2200AM and 2300AM are not bridgeable. They are both dual mono's also.

The 2025AM, 2050AM, 2075AM, 2150AM, 4100AM, 4200AM are all bridgeable.

Well my Rockford Fosgate 300x is a 4 channel amp bridged to 150W x 2 at (4 Ohms), which is pretty good in terms of power. Now that I have good set of speakers I've started to look at my system from an SQ perspective. Would I see or rather hear that much of a difference going with an AB class amp?

I meant to say a good class AB amp as I know that the quality of RF amps have gone down over the years.

An extra 100watts over what you have now isn't going to make much of a difference... an extra db or so of headroom....

The only other reason to change amps would be for features or perhaps better Xover circuitry... but other then that I can't see too many reasons to change..

That said I have a brand new lanzar amp that will do 200x2 @ 12.5v I can part with if you're interested...

I agree.A 4 channel is running @ 2 ohms bridged...more distortion!
