Adding new amps - Phoenix gold opinions?
I'm going to buy new amps to connect to the Bose HU. I like the JL audio amps, but too expensive. Any opinions on the Phoenix Gold Xenon X100.4? I will be running these to CDT comps in front, and CDT in rear. Also thinking about Phoenix Gold Xenon X400.1 for Sub later on. Also, are the Xenon series much better than Octane and worth the price difference? Finally, anyone know of any good on-line dealers for Phoenix gold?

I just read a thread on someones install and he used PG Xenon amps. I'll try to find his screen name for you. You might want to PM him and see what he thinks of them. I have an Octane series amp in my boat and I'm pretty happy with it. Never tried nor heard the Xenon series though.
Here's that thread.

The PG Xenon amps are decent for the money. I have the x400.1 for my sub although I still don't have it installed. Probably won't have my amps and sub installed until Spring. Just don't have the time.

el_duderino, was hoping to keep the amp price in the ~$400 range - the JL Audio 450/4 is my ideal amp, but too expensive, so I'm looking for something similar in power, but lower cost. After more search on the PG, I fully agree with you. Not a good choice. Zapco is way out of my price range as well, and seems the DLS amps are in the same price ranges. Any other decent amp brand I've missed?
