I'm going to have to disagree right there...I run a Cobra 29 on a DAVE MADE 1x4 which is a Class C box and I will gladly key down with someone of similar power. Not only is the DAVE box louder, but my audio is crystal clear. Yes Class C amps can splatter, but there are a few ways to avoid that. First of all, buy a DAVE MADE, the box is built expertly, and secondly, make sure your install is clean. Get your SWR's FLAT, run a secondary battery, dont starve the amplifier, ground the second battery and the amplifier to the frame. You'll power the amp as it needs to be powered, and have loud clear audio. I also recommend a Cobra 29 stealth from Sparky's. that's a bad mamma-jamma and well worth the money. I run that radio with an RF Limited TRB2 into the Dave Made and I am quite satisfied.
