My current setup, listed also in my sig, is a 4 way active system with the front 6 channels being powered by a pair of PPi Phantom amps, High and Mid on a 900.4 and Low on a 600.2. A pair of Sundown SD-3 D4 10's are connected to a 1000.1 mono amp at 1 ohm. These were decent budget amps but I have always planned on moving up in quality at some point. Now I am considering if I have come to that time.
Aside from wanting better quality electronics, the side-mounted controls and connections pose an issue in my install and an amp that moves those to the bottom would be ideal, see pic below.
I'm also pressed for space since the current amps just barely fit, both in length and width. Two amp lines that I am considering are JL XD amps and Arc Audio XDi. Moving down to two amps is also appealing so a 800/8 and 1000.1 or 1200.6 and 1100.1 both seem like great combos. The XD mono amp won't work with my 1 ohm requirement and doesn't put out enough power at 4 ohms so that weighs against them.
What I am looking for is feedback on either of those two options or recommendations for other ones that might fit my needs. Any advice is appreciated.
