Please quantify the statement that the kenwood amps you carry are better than the Alpine PDX amps.

I havent used the 5ch kenwood yet as it just came out and I have one in route. As of recent I have installed a few of the 4 channel kenwood xr4s and IMO its a better amp then the PDX. I have had zero issues out of box, which is more then I can say after numerous PDX installs and having to send amps back. As well the noise floor is much lower. Never have I had more issues with noise levels and alternator whine then with PDX amps.

Also as an FYI if you came to the forum just to post garbage in car audio threads do us all a favor and get out.
Edit: Oh and if you dont believe me do some google searching involving maybe the words pdx and noise floor

I'm looking at picking up an ARC Audio FD600.1 to just power the sub. Any thoughts from the rational, clear thinking, adults in this thread?

I have no affiliation with any companies, just wanted to post some alternatives.

cmon guys there are better options than the common brand names, and usually at a cheaper price.

Thanks to all for their input. I've weighed a few different options and have decided what I'm going to install. But given all the turmoil in this thread, I'm just going to keep my choices to myself. Sub is going to cost under a buck. Amp about a buck and a half with a nice 4 gauge wiring kit. I'm looking forward to the improved thump.

that statment is pure
all electronics have diffrent levels of power supply noise rejection.
and I trust that if you pay attention you would agree that pentavolvo's install skills are above reproach.
