Sq amp 4 channel. Is phoenix gold zx475ti still a good amp to today standards?

[ssmokeyy]

I'm building a 3 way focal setup in my subaru and amp space is at a cost.  So i have been looking at all amps new and old. Phoenix gold zx475ti has always been on my list of amps i want to have but I also want to make sure im not wasting my money on something 20 plus years old when there is better for the same cost. I have been looking a the jl xd and rd lines not sure about them since there class d and i have been wanting class ab or g to get the sq with dynamic sound.  I have also been looking at the rockford fosgate power 600.4 power class ab.  If there is any other new or old school amps please list them Longest i can fit is 16 inches long.

So you are building a 3 way Sound Quality Setup and your looking for a 4 channel amplifier to push it ???

[ssmokeyy]

Looking for an amp to push the focal's I have lots of amps that can get loud but i want something that can get loud and sound very dynamic at the same time. The amp i was going to use was the alpine pdx-f4 100 by 4 but just want something more.  P.s i can get a zx475ti for 235 just wondering if its still worth using those amps or look for newer gear.

Just Saying you would need 6 channels of amplification to run active 3 way. 

BTW ... according to your goals, Focal products might not work for your application ...

Why would focal products not work for application? My plan was to use the cross for the mid and tweet and use the other channels for the bass driver.

You want to use the crossover for the midrange and tweeter and run the midbass on its own?

[ssmokeyy]

Yep thats what focal dealer said they do. u have to install the mid driver and tweet next to each to make it even sound good. Really i never said i was going to go active i could run all the drivers off the crossover and be happy Just wondering about amps not the speakers. I'm going to be hard on these speakers no matter what. My daily driver i have morel hybird 602 speakers and run them off kicker zx650.4 and love the way they sound. my z has morel elate ti 602 but this time i wanted little brighter sound. That car i use arc audio kar amps. super nice amps. plus the ps8 dsp. again im not trying to go that over kill in this subaru.  Just looking for clean dynamic sound that can have some fun with.

Is the crossover specifically made for the mid and tweeter? Also what is the crossover point in the crossover?

[ssmokeyy]

PS 165 F3 is the kit. Asking about amps not speakers.  First off my first q was is the zx475ti still worth buying or not? Is jl audio xd/rd line really that dynamic in the real world like the show room? ANy other sq brands out there these days?

I run Linear Power, but they only make 2 channel amplifiers.
