What speakers are you running? if you are running 4 or more are you running them seperatly or combined to create a 2ohm load?

how many tower speakers do you have?

If you want a decent "bang for your buck" amp, I've had good luck with my Precision Power P600.2 so far. It's a class D and it's really compact.

I picked up the Precision Power P900.4 for like $30 more than the 600.2 -- For that kind of money, it's good future proofing for tower upgrades. I'm thinking about swapping the stock amps all out for PPI gear, get rid of the Class AB stuff and run all Class D...

I've thought about doing the same thing. For my application, the 600.2 was a better fit. I needed to run my towers with two channels at a two ohm load. If I was running either 4 channels at 2 ohms or if I was running 2 channels at 4 ohms, I'm sure I would have likewise went with the p900.4

I've also thought about swapping my Kicker ZX700.5 that's running my subs and cabins. But it's doing fine so far, and I'm not sure I could come out flush on the swap, so it's money I don't *need* to spend right now...
