Upgrade Amps?
« on: October 24, 2006, 07:59:01 PM »
Currently running a Steg QMosII 105.4x 4 channel to power my Focal K2P separates and Focal 27KX sub. Just purchased a Steg KCompetition series K2.02 2 channel amp to power my sub. Originally was gonna bridge the 105.4 to drive my K2Ps but now itching to upgrade that as well to another K2.02 or K2.03.  K2.02 supplies 155W max RMS into 4 ohms while the K2.03 is 245W. 105.4 produces 180W max when bridged into 2 channels. Your thoughts?

Bro,

Knowing you, pickup K2.03. When I test it with yours K2P, they sound a lot more dynamic compares to the K2.02. You can run a simple test, swap the QMOS105.4 out. Pull the cables to drive your K2P.

But before you decide on the K2.02 or 2.03, let me find out how much those Focal amp might be.

Can let you cuba-try a TRU Technology Billet B-2110 150w x 2 @ 4ohms. Either that or you can visit KF Audio, KK Lau or Auto Gadget to arrange for an audition.

If you're wondering the amp has enough power for the Focals, we've ran it with 3-way Dyns with plenty of success.
