better quality the JBL's most bang prob the 4000x the 4000 dont have crossovers or gain outputs its basically a burping amp only for SPL. go with the JBL's you will save money and will be quite happy.

The JBLs will stomp that 4000 for anything but a short 16+volt burp, YOU CANNOT DAILY DRIVE IT! I'm feeling very humble lately, but I'm sure I have the strength of character to fight it "Only YOU can prevent AMPLIFIRES! "

max draw on the JBL is 140A compared to about 400A on the 4000X, which is not for daily driving.WWW.CARAUDIORESOURCES.COM

You may want to go with the JBL's now. US doesn't make the 4000X anymore. They don'e even have the boards nor any support for them. Get the 2000X They do have other things in mind though....WWW.CARAUDIORESOURCES.COM
