Which ARC Amp?
What one amp would you recomend to power 6.5" Utopias (+/- 150 watts rms) and an IDQ10 ( around 250 watts rms).
Also what are the diffence between the KAR/CXL/XXL lines. I was planning on a getting the CXL, but is it better to wait and get the XXL line or is not worth the extra $$ and just get the KAR series?
Where can I get ARC amps online? The only place I know of is ampmanaudio
Thanks

Re: Which ARC Amp? (MVP)
no experience with xxl, kar is the cheaper line... i used a ARC2100 for my utopia 6.5's and it sounded great.
250x1 with arc would be a bridged ARC2050. $300 for a 230 watt sub amp is crazy unless you plan on using it for something elsel ater on. I did.. but now my arc 2050 is jsut on a shelf. So is my IDQ10 that I was using with it.
cost me about $500 for that amp/sub combo.. this time round, I'm going with a much much louder sub and amp for .... $600

I was thinking of getting a 4 channel amp, but I am not sure which one would work :confused:

Re: Which ARC Amp? (Kale)
I didn't want to use two different model amps, but what would be a good sub amp for the IDQ10 considering I will use the ARC2100 for the the Utopia's?
Is it OK to use two different brand amps?

Re: Which ARC Amp? (MVP)
wont hurt anything running different brand amps.
Why not get two dual 4ohm IDQ10's... and a second 2100
run the 2100 in stereo at 2ohmz per channel.. easy 190 watts per IDQ sub.
