I was lookin to get the the 600.2 to power my two JL 10w3v3-d4. question is what do u think of these amps? i think i read somewhere that u really liked it but just wanted to make sure. ohh yeah and it said sumthin about urs bein the last american made does that mean that the whole Van Gogh line was the last american made amp from Soundstream or was it just a few of the van gogh amps and then others were made over seas? cause ive hear that the new over seas Soundsream = Power Acoustik. If u could help me out it would be greatly appriciated. |
