Which amplifier?

Which amplifier?

Postby Fenix » Wed Sep 01, 2004 10:08 am

Guys,

I'm looking to upgrade my stereo system in the rear future. Since I refer the simple style, I decide to go with a 5 channels amplifier to power 2 fronts,2 backs and a sub.

The following amps are what I've been looking at, in your opinion which amp is the best of the bunch?
Budget for the amp is up to $350.
The power is for RMS.



Alpine MRV F450 50 x 4 + 200 x 1
Image

AudioBah A6601T 75 x 6
Image

Eclipse PA 5532 50 x 4 + 200 x 1
Image

JL Audio E6450 45 x 6
Image

Kicker KX700.5 40 x 4 + 200 x 1

Image

MTX Thunder 895 50 x 4 + 240 x 1
Image

Phoenix Gold Octane R.9.0:5 125 x 4 + 400 x 1
Image

Soundstream Van Gogh VGA 800.5 50 x 4 + 200 x 1
Image

Viper 1100.5 74 x 4 + 275 x 1
Image

Xtant 403A 50 x 2 + 100 X 1 (gonna buy two of them)
Image

Please vote, thanks.

if you go with the JL audio use the Jl Audio 500/5, its better then the E series.

Also it depends ont he sub your going to run. I woul say get all your inside speakers and subs then choose the amp to meet the power requirements.

you said it right "dumbass"

you really shouldn't be giving advice when you did something like that

there's always something better than what you have
and in your case, the list is huge

I voted viper but any of the 4 on the bottom are good. The eclipse and the JL are good too.
Nascar would be a sport if half the cars were driving the other direction.
