I saw two 3' long boxes on the bottom shelf that had a lot of dust on them. I pulled one out and saw 2500watts on the side of the box. It was kind of like finding buried treasure...lol!!

The one picture shows a 25th Anniversary Hifonics ZXi8008 740watt 5-channel amp that hits very well sitting on top of the Clif Designs box to show how huge it really is. Here's some pictures of it:

I really like the PDX-5 and the Infinity Kappa 5. They are both tiny little amps that make great power for such a small package.
That being said the Cadence FXA-5100 is just as good...a little bigger...but more powerful as well. It's about $299.00 for the Cadence and puts out 100watts RMS x 4 @ 4ohms 150watts RMS x 4 @ 2ohms and the sub channel on the Cadence is 400watts RMS @ 2ohms. Not bad for $299.00 and it produces good clean power.
Here's an install from a member here I sold that amp:

I haven't weighed it but it I think it's closer to 40lbs. It's a beast and the power ratings on it are an absolute joke judging by the amp guts. I saw a picture of them on a website ahile back...I will have to find it again.

Wow, that's a little bigger than my surfboard amp. My Elemental Designs Nine.5 is 25.5". It's an awesome amp but they don't make that model anymore.

I can vouch for the Cadence amp. I bough it from Ian at KeeAudio. Very solid piece. Produces gobs of clean power, looks great, and runs very cool.

An awesome amp at any price!
