Watts?? i would recommend getting the Sony Xplod AMP,
i had a 500W sony for 3 years and no problems, just upgraded to the 600W sounds really good. -
That's kind of vague. How much power do you need? How many subs and what subs are you running?Comment

Sonik is correct. What are you trying to accomplish. If it is for bass, then how much bass. Personally, I love deep, loud bass. I have 1000 watt rms, Hifonics Brutus with 2 10' JL Audio w6v2 in a sealed box. I love the way it sounds. And if you are like me, go with the 1000/1 JL amp. In the near future I too plan on upgrading to the JL amp.Originally posted by sonikaccord View PostLast edited by robert@bisimoto; 11-23-2009, 09:02 PM.Bisimoto Engineering

Old school Rockford amps are very good amps, JL Audio, are good amps too. Sony Xplod is crap from walmart.
Any amp that you'll buy will have to be based off the speakers for best performance.
I've used a crappy cheap amp, with cheap speakers and it can sound good, as long as its set up right.
Comes down to your budget, and how much room you want to take up.Comment

JL is good...if you're rich. Sony is good...if you're in an alternate universe. There's tons of good brands though. Alpine, Pioneer, MA Audio, OLD Sony amps, Zed Audio, old Planet Audio, but we need to know your goals too.Comment

Whoa, I forgot about planet audio haha. Did they fall off the earth or are they still around?

Well..i need a Amp for bass..and for one..like it when ppl can not only see you coming..but can hear you coming..i live in LA..and when you go out or just cruse..that shit need's to be knockin!..i was thinking of going with a pair of 13.5 W7's..=)..and go with the JL Audio..but i love the RF Punch cuz it has the Bass Controller and it give's it that "Umph" to it..but i wanted to know your opinion on a diff setup!Comment

JL W7's and JL amps are in a COMPLETELY different league of sound and price from some $100 RF Punch subs..Last edited by apuforyou; 11-24-2009, 04:25 AM.Comment

Don't like...all amps have that bass controller? Even a lot of 4 channel amps I've seen do. Also, an Audiocontrol Epicenter>amp's bass control.
There's tons of amps you could go with, idk what to say.
And yes, Planet Audio is still around. They're owned by Boss Audio now though, so they're not as good as they were

Ah, that's dissappointingOriginally posted by Sarthos View PostAnd yes, Planet Audio is still around. They're owned by Boss Audio now though, so they're not as good as they were They had some decent products back in the day. They weren't nearly as big of a name as most, but they could bump cleanly. It's sad that Boss owns them now lol

you dont need a ton power to produce clear loud bass. is your car a 2dr/4dr or wagon? trunks produce a different type of bass versus a hatch. unless you spend alot of money on a amp high wattage amps generally have more distortion, which over a period of time will kill your voicecoils. had it happen 6 punches in less than one summer switched to lower powered more reputable amp and never had a problem and it was twice as clear. just something to think about its not just wattage its also clarity.Comment
