I need the org's help in deciding wut brand of amp to buy. I have 1 xplod 12 and i need a new amp. I dont need like 1000watts or anything like that. i have a 250 watt amp on it now that is messing up so im looking to buy a new one. A friend is selling a pioneer 800watt amp for 75 and i found a lightning audio F&F 450Watt amp for $45. is the lightning audio a good buy or a bust? Also, wut r the GOOD brands in amplifiers. I appreciate everyone's help and info
lightning audio is crap... the pioneer might be okay. i just picked up a kenwood kac-7202 920 watt amp for $90 brand new.
Check out my build thread!
if lightning is crap then so is rockford. and would run that over the kenwood amp any day. look into
DEI
Orion
PPI
CAdence
Rockford
Kicker
JL audio
RE audio
Lanzar opti series
MA audio
MTX
Hifonics
American Bass
Memphis audio
Digital Designs
Autotek
God I could go on for a while
so i shouldnt go for the lightning audio then? thnx. if u got any more u can add to the list plz go on, im tryna see all my options.
Pioneer amps are junk!!!! I have never had one last longer that 2 months. Lighting audio is not bad. If you want a good cheap amp try profile.
alright, i found an audiovox 2-channel amp with 240 watts. i dont need a whole lot of watts i just wanted a substantial amount of bass. does this seem to be a good amp? it's brand new..
wut about power acoustik and visonik? r they good brands? so now pioneer is bad. this is complicated. i might just buy that lightning audio amp cuz its so cheap and see how long it lasts.
im gonna reccomend kicker
i know kicker is a good brand...... i just need a decent list with others of good performance. I gotta buy a new amp by tonite... and im gonna either order it off ebay or buy the pioneer 800 watt mono off this guy.... so i need all help and info i can get.
power acoustik is good, visonik i dont know. Directed audio- i have one. but im not sure about it yet. i sent it in for a refurb cause it died. but i think i have electrical problems at this point. there subs are good tho. so ill recomend Directed audio. you can get eem off ebay for pretty cheap. and so is Profile. ebay. maybe if i get bored ill find a couple for you
thnx again guys....really good info.
Try out Planet Audio.

I give up...
i'm buying a VW those people love trees, so they should love eachother too... "Andy"
im going to recomend you give us more info about these amps your looking at, plus more info on your sub.
also, are you planning on amping the rest of the speakers?
this is stuff you need to consider rather than what brand of amp you are going to buy.
branding doesnt mean anything.
i have a RockBox amp, which is apparantly made by Mobile Authority (i think). the only reason i picked this up is because thats all the place i was buying my audio stuff had at the moment (clearance outlet).
anyways, you need to match your sub to your amp, and vice versa if you already have the sub. if you have a DVC sub, i would recomend a 2 or 4 channel amp. if it is a SVC i would recomend a 2/1 or a mono amp. if you plan on amping the front (amping the rears is a waste, just yank them out) speakers plus the sub, a 2/1 channel amp, that is a 2 chan that can be bridged would be best. if its a DVC sub and your amping the fronts, a 4 channel amp works best.
im running a DVC sub to 2 of the channels on my 4 channel amp, the other 2 are running the front speakers.
if you do want to amp all of your 4 speakers for some strange reason, get 2 amps, or if you can find a 6 channel amp. match your new amp to best suit your sub, not what brand is better.
Injection is nice but id rather be BLOWN!
i have an xplod 12, but i dont know if it is a dvc or svc, i bought it off a friend new last yr but i didnt know i needed all that. i just got it hooked up at a shop. i just bought a new audiovox 2 channel amp. i dont plan on amping the speakers, i just wanna change the fronts out so i can hear better out of them. they r alpines, but they suck, and i got pyle 6x9's in the rear, they r louder than the fronts, so im not taken em out.
