amp quality, Im such a nu b Options

[urbandork]

I normally would post this on an pure audio forum but i trust this forum most and i dont belong to any pure car audio forums. So ill just ask my question here.

I know theres a good amount of companies out there who make amps. Other then the name brand ones which ones are good?

Ive been debating between a name brand one (kicker or pioneer) and a amp from "Profile." Ive read some reviews on their amps and have found ppl to like their amps, mostly their Califorina series amp.

Im planing on getting either a 4 or 2 channel. Ill be amping two subs and two rmb8 mid bass speakers. At first i was just going to amp my subs but figured that since im guna be amping things i might as well get a 4 chan and amp both my subs and my mid bass. Although my mid bass sound fine on the stock set up.

And just so i know it is better to have a chanel for each speaker or sub instead of runing two speakers/subs off of one chanlle right?

Thanks

btw this is the profile amp im looking at if i get a 4 chan.

eh, to me HiFonics isnt very good, more like Audiobahn stuff to me, but thats my opinion. using a 4 channel amp will not give your subs a good signal, they are sloppy for subs. here..

JBL 300.1 http://www.cardomain.com/item/JBLBP3001Z

JBL 80.4 http://www.cardomain.com/item/JBLP804Z

the 300.1 will give your subs a clean 150rms each. perfect for them subs

the 80.4 will give your midbass drivers that good punch. this is a very good deal at a Very cheap price.

you will not find any better amps New at this price that will beat the JBL quality. JBL amps put out the rms they say. and are very reliable amps. i have a friend that has a JBL 1200.1 powering his two 15" Adire Audio Tempests and he loves it to death, and he has TWO 80.4's powering all his mids, and highs. and he loves them also. i plan on buying the JBL 600.1 for my 15" Tempest very soon also.
