the best ones are the pg and kicker. i have amps of both those brands and love them.
i've heard and seen hifonics, and they are great budget amps. if you can't afford the top of line amps, hifonics is a good choice, and i'll probably be buying some myself here soon.
the others, except for treo cause i don't know anybody with them, imo are not worth the $ and i'd never buy any of them.
alrite thanks alot thats wut i needed to hear, cuz alotta ppl are all like idk if theyr too good...but wen ppl say ther crap and not worth the money u kno for sure u dont want them...but wut about JL and Arc Audio? iv heard good things about them but wanted to hear if nebody had sum bad experience w/ em once or sumthin
jl amps are real good but also really expensive. ex. you can get a pg xenon 1200.1 that will put out more power then the jl 1000/1 for about the same price, and they both put out the same output from 1-4ohms. just depends on what you need and your budget.
never seen anyone round my way with a arc audio amp though, so can't help you there.
alrite thanx all, iv askd sum1 bout crossfire bfore and they said it was pretty good for class D amps(vr4000d puts out 4000rms x 1 @ 2ohm). so i was wonderin wut u guys thought. anyway another list of brands id like to get opinions on are:
here the pg xenon 1200 run anywhere from $1000-1200, where the jl is about $999-1199. all brand new prices. i've even seen a few stores raise the prices of the xenons since they discontinued them.
I Like RE SUB i heard a RE MT or XXX dont realy know (the owner didnt know either, he doesnt Know no anything LOL) but i hva never in my life heard a subwoofer that loud clean and set off alarms, No joke i didnt think it was possible at all, dont have any experiance with it, yes i know u asked for the realiabilty aspect but like i said i dont know neva had but thats a mean speaker
i've worked with MTX before. i've never had a problem with them before. sound good, and hit hard. good price to power ratio. orions are great amps. expensive though. alphasonik is over-rated in my opinion. i have heard a few kickers hit real hard. Pyramid and Boss Audio should never ever come out of a true audio enthusiasts mouth unless they are insulting someone else's system.
alrite thanx again. anyone hav experience with almani amps? or i hear stuf bout viper as a sub amp so i take it thats good. stil anything about crossfire class d's?? as well as the rest of the brand i had listed above
why don't you just say how much power you need, what your budget is, and the brands you are considering and someone will be able to help alot easier than trying to get reviews on every brand out. also are you buying in store, online, ebay and is refurbished an option?
Is Power Acoustik a $hitty brand? My brother gave me his old Power Acoustik PWR 180 amp to use until I can afford my own, but no one's specifically said anything about Power Acoustik, so i was curious.
ive heard tht JL audio is a good brand and zapco but if i were to choose a brand from the top id say go for hifonics more affordable brand and heard it is moderate.....then again its only an opinion
ok heres my favorite good quality amps in no particualr order: Elemental Designs Orion RE Arc Audio JL Phoenix Gold Kicker USAmps TRU TREO makes good subs but i didnt know they made amps, i would assume they are good though. i would also assume that eclispe makes good amps too, but i dont hear much about em so i dont know for sure.
Kicker product is by far equal if not better than any MAJOR CO. But cust. support is Freakin awesome...asks as many dumb ???'s as you want to tech support, they're cool..Smoked L5, My fault , my fault, new sub 1 week, no ?'s ..People answer phones, not machines!!
