bridging 4 channel amp

[o2cavyss]

there do seem to be some differences between those two amps

Maximum Input guage size
SPL-8
PA-4

Speaker Level Inputs
SPL-Yes
PA-No

Signal-to-Noise Ratio
SPL-98 db
PA-97 db

Fuse Rating
SPL-20A x 2
PA-40A x 1

Also, shipping on the SPL is free and the PA is about $16

The maximum guage input worries me now, I just ordered the Knu's Kolossus Fleks 4 Gauge 4 Channel Amplifier Installation Kit...does that mean I cant use the 4 guage wires with the SPL?

btw, its cool that you did that research. Much appreciated

I was talking more about internals of the amp... for example... in car terms... A dodge stealth was a rebadged mitsubishi (3000??).... same car... some very minor differences. Most audio products are build in one of a handful of different factories in the world.

The S/N is a stat that manufacturers can always tweak and 1dB is not a big difference at all
the fuse difference really isn't a difference at all. Both are 40amps. The speaker level input is really the only thing that sets them apart.

the 4awg vs 8awg input ehh... 4awg is nice... but not needed on an amp that size. Using ring/fork connectors (which you might have to trim with a drimmel or pair of snips) you can always fit bigger wire.

stinger and many other wire/connector companies will make either a 4awg Fork or 4awg Ring connector. Fork would probably be the easiest to work with.
