Taramps TS 400X4 vs SLAPZ Mini 5 Car Amplifier

The SLAPZ Mini 5 is the more capable amp: five channels, a dedicated 500W mono sub channel at 1 ohm, adjustable crossovers from 50Hz to 5kHz, bass boost and a 105dB signal-to-noise ratio. The Taramps TS 400X4 is a simpler four-channel amp with fixed 90Hz crossovers and 100W per channel, but it is tiny at about a pound and easy to hide. Buy the SLAPZ if you want one amp to run four speakers plus a sub; buy the Taramps for a basic four-speaker upgrade or a small bridged sub setup where space and simplicity matter most.

• Choose the Taramps TS 400X4 if you need a small, light four-channel amp for door speakers or a modest bridged sub and you don't need tuning controls.
• Choose the SLAPZ Mini 5 if you want four speakers and a subwoofer powered by one amp, with adjustable crossovers and real sub power.
