QUestion about amps

[BossHogg]

ok i am wondering if the following manufacturers make good products as far as amps go.

Alphasonik, Ample, audiobahn, kicker, power acoustik, soundstream, us amps, massive audio...also anything from directed electronics.

Do these companies have good products, are the worth while or will they sound like crud.

other brands i am interested in are Rockford fosgate, MTX, phoenix gold.

I am open to other suggestions as well.

I am interested mainly in opinions of people regarding the first list of companies products becuase i can buy those at wholesale prices and dont have to pay retail on them. I would like to get the best amp for my money of course but at the cheapest price, if retail happens to be cheapest then so be it.

The sub I am going to use will either be the kove audio xk 12d 700w/350rms
or the adire brahma 12 or the shiva... I can get the kove for$95. and i know it sounds great had a lot of bass output and good sound quality. it is one of the better sounding subs that i have heard. granted i am limited to the subs i have heard as well.

I listen to rock, rap, country, classical, talk, whatever i am all over the place music wise. Just need to decide on the amp want a clean, amp with the power to push one of the subs mentioned above.

thanks.

i was thinking maybe one of the following amps

Soundstream
VGA 400.2 or 600.2

Power Acoustic
A1800DB

Kicker
KX 400.1 or 600.1

Directed Electronics
750D

Phoenix Gold
x400.1

[-dh-]

US Amps is the best choice out of the first list.

Never heard of Kove Audio...but I know the Brahma will kick your butt and then some.

Audiobahn sucks in pretty much every aspect. Don't put out rated power (amps), can't handle rated power (subs), ugly as hell (chrome is tacky, it should be used sparingly as a accent).
