Well, just how good are Brax/Helix amps? I know they're expensive but I really don't care bout that right now. I was looking into getting a Kicker ZX750.1 but Helix makes a 800Watt with a whole lot better specs. Just tell me, how good are Brax/Helix amps?

its different now, the list that is, i dont think wrangler alternators and some others... should be in there, most of these companies are form other contries also
Ok. So they're really good. I was wanting a Kicker or Hifonics but that Helix Dark Blue 1000.1 had some good specs and looks good too. Now, I'll just order it off of woofersetc.com It's for nothing fancy, just the Polk db212-2 box. Some people might diss it but hey, I know this thing can rock. It's probably the best for the money. I want a really nice amp though to get all the power and sq out of my Polks. Next year, I think bout gettin some RE SX subs.
Oh, and another thing. How good are they at disapating heat? Do they run pretty cool or what? And if all else fails and I hve to go with the Kicker ZX750.1, will it still be pretty good? Any help is good.
