Post Number: 5370 Registered: Dec-05 | Hi guys, the subject for today is cheap power.. i need 200w rmsx2 at 4 ohms, (4 channel bridged), right now the one is winning is a profile 1040.. does around 225wrmsx2... any other amp for the money, that's the range of power i need. The cheaper the better, don't like buying High end brands LOL! yeah xD |

Gold Member Username: N2audioLawrence, Ks USA Post Number: 1588 Registered: Mar-04 | good idea with the Profile, but I would bet against it actually doing 225 x 2. I would expect more like 175-200, but still quite a bit of power for $100. There's a CEA06 compliant Jensen at sonicelectronix.com for $99 + shipping. Should be a good 250x2 bridged. Looks like a great deal. |

Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 5373 Registered: Dec-05 | marc i can speak for kole audio, those 4 channel amps do the work, i bought one for a friend pushing 4 6.5 and it works perfectly, no problems and it's still working after a year. i think i'll go with profile or that PG, really liked the looks on that line |

|
Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 5375 Registered: Dec-05 | haha crappy amps always rule, you just need to know which ones maintains some quality and their ratings. I'll go with profile, best bang for the buck and bullet proof. |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 7743 Registered: Jul-06 | Bullet proof???? Hardly, those amps are well known for overheating. |

Gold Member Username: N2audioLawrence, Ks USA Post Number: 1591 Registered: Mar-04 | I still like that Jensen. <$120 shipped, CEA2006 Certified for 468w, and a 1 yr mfg warranty. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_11747_Jensen+Power+Plus+1304.html Could be the new Profile. I've always considered Jensen and Profile to be about equals anyway. |

Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 5378 Registered: Dec-05 | in numbers, the jensen looks superior IMO.. but.. IDK opti.. i've seen the profile, we've wired it at 1 ohm and it went to protection once, it behaved very well and still working... ihaven't messed with jensen and that's why i'm still vouching for profile. i just need a lil push to buy that jensen haha can you persuade me? LOL! |

Gold Member Username: N2audioLawrence, Ks USA Post Number: 1594 Registered: Mar-04 | Can I persuade you? Doubtful. I owned one Jensen amp in HS (15 yrs ago). It was some POS 25x2 or something like that, but I paid next to nothing for it and it worked fine. I just think any budget amp that gets CEA2006 certification has a big advantage over the competion since it's basically a guessing game as far as actual power on just about every low cost amp. |

Gold Member Username: Nyyfan1315 Mag USA Post Number: 9975 Registered: Jul-06 | Thanks for the link Sean. Julio, I've been running a Profile AP600 for my components for the past year and a few months. Thus far, I have had absolutely zero problems with it. Never cut off, never into protect mode, nothing. Only thing I've experienced that I have some concern for is the fact that sometimes after driving with my system turned up for a while, it will be relatively hot to the touch. But with that said, it doesn't help that I have my box sitting about an inch away from it so it doesn't have much air circulation for it. It isn't the best amp in the world by any stretch of the imagination but it gets the job done at a cheap price. For people on a budget or not much available to them, I would suggest them. I'll be happy to answer any questions you have about it. |

Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 5390 Registered: Dec-05 | thanks yanks fan... that's the concept i have of profile... the model i'll buy it's going to run cooler due to the fact that i only need 70w rms of 200w that puts per channel so i think that's a plus. on extreme cases...i might run external fans. I'll tell you how it goes and sean thanks for your time. |
