Reply With QuotePDX, the honda needs all the help it can get in the efficiency department and the PDX amps are proven VERY worthwhile in that department, and SMALL!
They have a 5 Ch if you are thinking abut even a removeable sub ;)
So I am trying to decide on what amp to get to run my mids/highs. This will not be running a sub at all.
So which would you choose?
The Alpine PDX or the Rockford Fosgate T600-4
Alpine:
Pros - Small, Class D, etc
Cons - $
Rockford:
Pros - makes good power, better THD, etc
Cons - Cannot be mounted under seats

yeah but the pdx-5 costs a pretty penny.
so, do you want him to say the RF then?
no not all. I was merely commenting on the price difference. I personally have highly considered the alpine because of the space saving and Class D design. My post was to get a general consensus on what someone else would prefer. Currently as it stand i have had one response.
alpine one is the best believe me i have two of them
The Alpine is a fantastic amp.
The Alpine PDX series are excellent amps. Go for it.
Totally understand but they are coming down in price since the newness is wearing off. One still needs to consider a sub, if you NEVER plan to run one then there's no question that you should get a 4 channel, but if you are thinking about adding one later, is the price increase to the PDX5 less than the cost of a separate sub amp, distro blocks, etc and the loss of more space under the other seat?Originally Posted by 3dkahuna
JL is now making a smaller class D amp too I believe.
Yeah I saw something about the HD600/4 by JL, Dimensionally it is close to the PDX, but has 50w more RMS per channel.
I have the same amp and it is pushing my Kicker ss series and it sounds great. It is small and fits under my seat hands down the best amp I have owned.
I got a PDX-1.1000 and by far the best mono block amp iv ever had. I *Used* to have the PDX 4.100 amp you speak of but was the only 4 channel amp Iv ever had, and that thing pushed the Infinity kappa perfects in the front and the 6x9's Alpine Type R's I had in the back of my CL and sounded fantastic! Not to mention the size, low heat, and stack ability which is pretty cool IMO.
I am going to go off the beating path! I would rock the Rockford. I have always like Rockford. I wouldn't want a class D amp running my components (prefference... I guess). And this rockford is a beautiful amp.

Class D amplifier design
Ain't nothing wrond with a class D amplifier running ful range as long as it's not a specified "subwoofer amp"
I said it was preferrence!
And personnally; I am not a Alpine guy. The only thing about that PDX amp that I like is the stackable feature. But if it were my money I am buying the Rockford.
Say what you will but I have always had unbelieveable luck with Rockfords. I have two old school ones just sitting around incase I need them!
