Fosgate 301X????
Any of you have experience or knowledge of this amp? Do ya think it would be decent to power the fronts and rear? Its not all that much power, but everyone says you can't always go by the specs.
Specifications
* 40 watts RMS x 4 at 4 ohms
* 75 watts RMS x 4 at 2 ohms
* 150 watts RMS x 2 bridged output at 4 ohms
* 2-, 3-, or 4-channel output
* 4-ohm stable in bridged mode
* Tri-Way capable
* requires 10-gauge power and ground leads — wiring and hardware not included with amplifier
* front and rear switchable high-pass (120 Hz, 12 dB/octave) and low-pass (80 Hz, 12 dB/octave) crossovers
* MOSFET power supply and output devices
* Maximum Efficiency Heat Sink Application (MEHSA) mounting technology increases the heat transfer from the MOSFET output devices to the heat sink, for higher power output, lower operating temperatures, and greater reliability
* TOPAZ — noise-killing differential inputs that eliminate 80% of ground loop noise
* Trans•ana circuitry keeps preamp voltages low and signal paths simple for outstanding audio quality
* NOMAD — advanced protection circuitry for "intelligent" shutdown protection
* speaker- and preamp-level inputs
* preamp outputs
* 12-1/16"W x 2-3/8"H x

its a good amp that will put out more than the 40 watts that its spec'd at. you wont get overwhelming output but you will be able to listen to your radio with the windows down finally. good amp for the money
Yeah, it should be fine for you. I have my 801x powering just my front speakers (Pioneer TS-A1670R's) for now (rear FRC4269's are coming within in a week...) and I have the gain all the way down - literally, all the way down - and it's still loud as hell. And remember, this is with only the two front speakers powered. The rears(stock for now) are still being pushed off the HU, and they're barely audible.
BTW, the 801x pushes 100w x 4 RMS, so 40w RMS x4 should be more than ample.
