Need Some Amp Help??

Well, as bad as I hate to, I am going to sell my JL Audio 300/4 and 250/1. In trying to fit all my equipment from my MDX into the CRV, it just will not fit. I was hoping to put them under the seats but they will not fit with a CD changer under one and the Alpine brain under the other. Anyway, what I need is a small footprint 4 or 5 channel amp. I am using Boston Pro 6.5's and a JL 10W6 in a Stealthbox. 14" is about the biggest dimension I can have. Any ideas?


Also, the two amps are for sale if anyone is interested.

You might be able to run a high power 2-ch amp in a trimode scheme if your loads work out.
Otherwise, Lunar Amplifiers are the smallest amps I 've ever come across. Not sure if they are still in business though but mostly 2-channel(I think) but very underrated and work horses. Might be able to fit two amps then???

I am still debating on whether to sell. But, I do not think I will have a choice. With my current config, my Boston's will get a whooping 37.5 watts and the sub 150. I could live with the 150 but, 37.5 watts on speakers designed for up to 400 watts, not good.

I could probably do $250 plus shipping on the 300/4 and $200 plus shipping on the 250/1.

Shawhite...I will look at the Diamonds right away. There site is having a problem and I can not get on right now.

What about the Rockford Power Series. The 551x has pretty good specs and a small footprint. I have never owned or heard the power series. Are they alot better than the Punch.


Also, if you download the manual at JL's site for the 300/4, it has an extended table chart of optimum and sub-optimum configurations. With a 3 ohm load in and stereo on the front and a 3 ohm load bridged on the rears, the front puts out 37.5 and the rear 150 watts.
