You wanna decent amp??? look for an MTX Jackhammer JH600, i have one in my sunfire and its rock solid power. 600W rms around 1300W total output power. And they are really really clean sounding. http://www.buy.com/prod/mtx-jh600-jackhammer-600-watts-car-amplifier/q/sellerid/21878759/loc/111/219435836.html check it out found this one for right around $200. Worth every penny.

A: MTX is "meh" at best....
B: Didn't you read where he said "I found this specific amp cheap, I want opinions on it"??


On the other hand....you have other fingers.

If you can get that amp pretty cheap, its worth picking up, I had one of these as a temp amp when my 1000/1 blew a channel, I borrowed it from a friend until I got a replacement, same model im pretty sure, it lights up blue in the triangle part?

It pushed 2 8" w7s very nicely, if you are just getting started and not sure what you are looking for specifically and not wanting to drop a ton of money, I see nothing wrong with the amp. It is not junk or anything, its not as high end or trendy as some other brands, but for cheap it will do the trick.

An amp is an amp is an amp unfortunately.

The difference in cost is a result of:
-Build quality
-Power output
-Hype

So if it's cheap, you're likely not getting... well, any of those things. So don't expect a miracle. Expect what you pay for.
