get the 4channel and the mono alot more control and will look alot better in your install

^^ wut he said.... only prob i have with goin wit the five channel is if something happens to either of the channels goes then amp is pretty much useless... you would have to take the amp out to get fixed and shit... i say go with the 4 channel and the mono block.. holleerrrrrrr

[Nittanys1]

get the 4channel and the mono alot more control and will look alot better in your install

shh u...u know my plans...

[BanginJimmy]

I would imagine both amps are high end SQ amps, so it would depend on what you are looking for in the install. 5ch would provide a simpler install, and for a high end install, which I'm pretty sire you are going for, you arent going to be using the system anyways if there is an amp down.

personally I would do the 5ch for ease of install, but it really comes down to what look you are going for. I seriously doubt you will notice any sound difference between the 2

I just got a call from my best friend and he is moving to Chicago on wends. and he is selling his car....so he asked me if I wanted to buy his amps from him for dirt cheap...two xtant amps for $150 so he came over and I had them out of the car in 5 mins...so now im going to be using these amps with and xtant sup set-up prob three subs...Im thinking of taking the amps and opening them up and showing the mother board instead of the amp part...making it more of a wow factor then just amps sitting in the trunk...

so the amps are the Xtant A4004 and 6001 now I need to talk to my friend who has the in with xtant to get some subs...maybe I'll go with 4

Ohh and I still have my first amp sitting in my closet, its a 5 channel xtant with all the goodies...only thing is its fried and xtant would fix it for $120...but im prob not gonna do anything with that...

[BanginJimmy]
