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.

well to me audiobahn is crap...not total crap but your paying for a good looking less powerfull amp..i personal dont like chrome cuz it doesnt help with heat..thats why they have fans...hifonics isnt the best but they produce alot of power for a good price...if you can wired you subs into a 1 ohm load then thats the way i would go...

4 channel would only under power your subs....
i would stay away from your mid bass save that for next time

how much is the rms on those subs? my guess is some where around 150-200 rms?

if soo you want to give a little more power then 80-100rms power...


PA isnt to bad of a brand...i mean if you got a good deal dont pass it by...just make sure what ever you choice it gonna give out enough power to the subs....and enclosure has to be good to cuz that can make a good sub sound bad
