Me too.

As long as they can take the power, you should be fine. I have my X200.4 running my Hertz 3 way components and the gain is only at 1/8

Trust me. you will love it

Thanks for the input guys.

happy_mcslappy, you find it runs hot and is the fan noisy at all? I'm looking to mount this underneath the passenger seat hence the question. Thanks again.

X200.4 ? I seen the 100.4 at a local SHop its HUGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. and 200.4 is bigger im not sure its going to fit. But i heard its a killer amp. You must have deep pockets to afford somethign like that.

With an x200.4, you could easily run your components with 2 channels, and then bridge the other 2 channels for a sub.

If you plan on only running a pair of component speakers, look into the x100.2, x200.2, im sure this would give you more to work with if you plan on mounting underneith passenger seat.

Oh, and yes the x200.4 is a very good amp.

oh man..I gotta check it out in person then if they're that big. I'm biting the bullet and buying it from the US or Ebay which should be a tad over $500. Worth it for the x200.4 I think. x200.2 isn't that much cheaper though it would be smaller.

I do need to drive 4 speakers though 200 w/ch is an overkill for the rear. Trying to keep the HU's amp section idle for better SQ and heat issues.

Maybe the x100.4 might be good enough I'm thinking now.

Anyone know where in Toronto I can have a look at these? Thanks again everyone.

I own both the 200.4 and 200.2 and the poor things are sitting in the closet...lol
I can take a picture of both with a tape measure and that way you might get an idea about their size.

ARKITEK: DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT BUY A XENON amp from ebay HELL no. Its not gonna be worth the hastle. A lottta bad batch Xenon amps ended up on ebay and ppl are selling them saying brand new or reefurbed they seem to have problems after cpl months of use. Im say ing this cuz alotta posts were made on pg forums about xenon amps from ebay messing up after cpl months. Highly avoid it. You do save a good 40% but its not worth it. The xenon 200.4 is almost 1000 dollasr CDN at my local dealer last time i checked.
