    Yeah, I think that the amp would burst into flames and the speakers would start playing the Chicken Dance non-stop.

    Oh wait a minute, maybe it would be possible---- I have an Exile BT Media Center hooked up to a WS420sq and somehow the world hasn't stopped turning!

    I would definitely go with the SYN DX-4! The dealer install our Rev 10's and they used, in my opinion a "budget, save me money amp," a Kicker KX M 400.2 (200 watts @2Ohms rms). With only 200 watts going through both of them they are decently loud, but I strongly recommended you go with an amp that provides more than 300 watts. From what I've read on this and other forums the SYN DX-4 will make your rev 10's scream!

    For what it's worth, I have a bridged Precision Power P600.2 going to each of my Wetsounds Rev410's. so each one is getting 600RMS (or 400rms at 12v).

    But since you're just doing a pair of Rev10's, throw a bridged PPI P900.4 on there and give it 450x2 RMS for well under $200.

    After doing a little research, the ppi p900.4 sounds like it would do the job well for a fraction of the cost. What is the consensus on that amp? As you guys have probably already figured out, I'm not that we'll versed on the subject.

    Well, I can tell you already that you're going to get a handful of people that are going to say that it's not going to perform like one of the more 'premium' brand name amps like JL Audio, Arc Audio, Wetsounds, Exile, Rockford Fosgate, Kicker, etc.

    If you look on other forums (Wakeworld, audio forums, etc), people have accepted the PPI Phantom series as the best of that "budget" category. They are pretty much accepted as amazing bang for the buck. But many will still poo poo them. If you look on the Sonix Electronix website, they actually bench tested a p900.4 and it put out more wattage than it was rated at. So it's not likely to underperform from that standpoint.

    I've been running all PPI amps and I've been happy. Others that are willing to go that route have been happy. I haven't heard any bad experiences with them. But you're always going to have lots of people saying that you need to go with the premium brand name amps that cost significantly more.

    I've tried to be balanced in my description of their place in the market, so hopefully that helps. I'm sure others will give their two cents.

    I did see the write up and bench test of the amp. Power output is obviously solid, is there any other quality issues to be concerned with? I found a lot of positive info online and very little negative. Actually, no negative comments or information other than the typical "you get what you pay for".

    You'll be at 363 watts per channel at 12.6 volts and 477 @ 14.4. They're very solid for the price and widely accepted.

    The PPI amplifiers are a great power per dollar value. They do a single and simple specification very well.
    Are there better amplifiers? Of course. Class D amplifiers with higher switching speeds, lower distortion, and MUCH, MUCH better front ends.
    But those cost much more just as they should.

    LOL. I see where you're going with your analogy. I'd say it's closer to the skilled rider that has a sweet Doomswell or Soulcraft and chooses to use an XLV or Mojo instead of a G23 or M235.
