Bronze Member Username: HootzSaskatoon, Saskatchewan Canada Post Number: 44 Registered: Oct-05 | I've had older pg amps, they've always been under-rated and very durable. I don't have much experience with their newer ones, but they've always been good for what you pay for. I've got an mrd-m1005 now. I've liked it so far. It'll probably give you better sq, but I think they're overpriced. I just bought mine so I could link it to my alpine HU. If you're going to be paying retail, I'd ask around on some different amps, there's a lot more value out there. |

Usa Post Number: 67 Registered: Oct-05 | k so i'm defintly leaning towards the alpine (i can get it for 350 btw) vs 250 for the pg thats why i'm leaning towards it its to power two infinity 1030s at 2 ohm but i might be replacing them eventually (like in years lol) |

Silver Member Username: Young_jamesCanada Post Number: 288 Registered: Sep-05 | Your going to buy that amp to power 2 infinities?? In that case, the PG is better. The 1030's are rated at 250wrms each, so you will be giving them 500wrms each. The subs will never handle that much. The PG will put 600wrms so each sub will get 300wrms, which isn't a problem. |

Usa Post Number: 70 Registered: Oct-05 | dang i would be interested problem is unless your selling for crazy low i couldnt' afford it yet (i'm getting this amp for like after christmas or maybe for it but i have to pay for all but a little bit of it - young james - i know it would overpower them but i was told that they could handle it (they were underrated) but that could be incorrect if it will kill them then i'll just go with the pg |

Silver Member Username: Young_jamesCanada Post Number: 302 Registered: Sep-05 | i know they are underrated, but I do think that 500wrms to each sub is an overkill. You got to remember too, the amp is underrated. |

Bronze Member Username: KasadudeHighland, Ut. Usa Post Number: 71 Registered: Oct-05 | true true good point i think i'm going for the pg now anyways cause i cant afford much else and i figured i wont be getting subs for a long enough time that if i ever do replace them i might as well get a new amp too so ya thanks for all the help guys |
