To clarify a few things:
1. I also work for Jaycar
2. Wraiths comment"in the catalogue, its rated as 4x84w rms" is incorrect... its the 2x100 that we list as 2x84... the 4x100 is actually under-rated
3. It is better to use an amp which has more power output available to it than your speakers can handle than using one with less...
-because its easier to hear when you are over driving a speaker than it is to hear a little bit of distortion from an underpowered amp.
-one could always turn down the gain on the more powerful amp but turning the gain up excessively on the less powerful ones will cause more distortion.
4. Jaycar match prices and I would advise that you deal with Jaycar direct as warranty etc. through dealers will take an extra couple of weeks and you may find that some dealers will need to order the amp in for you when you want to purchase it anyway.
Jaycar will also abide by fair trading laws because they have something to lose... some of the "Double Lock Up Garage" type dealers couldn't care less about fair trading and could cause you grief as they have almost nothing to lose.
5. With Jaycar products what you see is pretty much what you get... no expensive branding... no BS PMPO figures etc.
6. I personally have two 2x150's and 1 4x100 and don't have any overheating problems and I used to have the 4x100 installed under the passenger seat with a floor mat half sitting on it.
Anyways... Jaycar stuff only goes to about the low-mid level of the market...
If you want a moderately powerful system without too much expense then Jaycar stuff is probably what you should be buying.
if you want a high quality monobloc amp or something that can handle 0.25R impedance etc go and buy yourself a soundstream or audison amp or something...
