Has anyone heard a comparison of the 8" 200W tube vs. the 100W tube?

I just installed alpine HU, alpine 4 ch amp with 8" 100W tube and the improvement is so well worth it. Also, had previously installed the Infinity Kappas. When people say they scream for an amp, they are definitely right. Night and day with a little more clean power.

Anyway, was hoping to determine whether it was worth it to bump up to the 200W tube, no pun intended.

I'm looking at this for my wife's accord to fill in the lows.

Infinity Basslink II - $250 which appears to include a 4 channel amplifier!

This one is 250 RMS for the sub! (35 watts RMS x 4 at 4 ohms for the module)

Good luck..

I guess I'll find out soon enough. Went ahead and bought the 200w from crutchfield. I figure I can just do my own test. The 200 was only $70 more than the 100w.

It could be a misprint, but it shows the BTA8100 @ 100w max and the BTA8200 @ 200w RMS.
