alpine and jl both have strong amplifiers JL's "slash series" puts out a lot of power.. alpines PDX series is a suitcase amp so its very very small and all digital so it doesnt over heat.. i sell these the most.. they put out jsut as much power but are one of the cleanest amps i have heard

[PCYC]

us amps and re audio.... eBay them. I hit a 148.3 with one ten in a fiberglass enclosure I want to see jl do that haha... I sell both of those products there great. Plus you can get a 10" sub for about 130 and a usamp for about 180. Or you can pm me and I'll hook you up the best I can.

Zapco is very nice
Memphis is good to but only the priemium stuff

[goody6691]

i have memphis m class stuff

[pa4ul]

keep in mind college student college budget lol im willin to spend maybe 200 250 at most for an amp i dont wnat to blow my trunk off just a nice clear bass

[coowhip]

MA Audio makes good stuff and can run 1Ohm stable...just got to peek at the specs before you buy and MAKE SURE it says 1 Ohn stable.

i used to have a 15" kicker and two 12" kicker comps in my M3, way over kill. for my A4 I picked up a Sub/Amp/Box all in one combo (kenwood) from bestbuy, easy to hook up, way better then factory, was only like $200, and doesn't fill my whole trunk.

here it is for $149: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...KSC-WD250.html

im not worried bout trunk space as long as i got room for my golf clubs!

[agart]

I'm running all alpine components(amps, speakers, and head unit). The clarity is amazing. One of the lower powered pdx amps should be within that price range. Plus if you decide to expand in the future you can stack the pdx amps on top of each other.

i deffinatly wish i had the money for a few jl w6 12's!! or hell, even w7 would be that much better

i got a hifonics 1200 watt digital amp... great amp... and my subs are 12" 1200watt each SPL subs very good priced and good quality subs..i like my setup

[tdmopar59]

I have always like power acoustiks... they're not well known but with my experiences i loved them!

[B6Lovin]

i know i'll get flamed for the circuit city special - but i ran a MTX class-D in my eclipse way back in the day and it was a great little amp... that thing sure could move a sub. but i'm no audiophile - so it's w/e. i just wanted loud

(ran that same amp in my old minivan WAY back when hahahaha)

Hifonics is by far the best choice and they are very reasonably priced. However im a die hard JL fan

[ScaryGary]

Zapco is premium stuff and but not very affordable. Plus, no warranty if you install it yourself.

I would avoid MTX, MA audio, audiobahn (for the love of god, anyone with an audiobahn sticker on their car should be shot on site) and soundstream. I personally loved soundstream when they were a domestic company, but they're garbage unless you can find something old school. Same for Rockford Fosgate

Try to find a JBL amp in your price range. Lots of bang for the buck.

I have done a lot of installs for friends and found JBL amps to be very surprising. They are powerhouses, however, typically have minimal adjustability.


My creds... I built a SQ competition system with denon HU, zapco balanced processing, soundstream reference amps (4 of them), and dyn speakers.
I am also an avid audio equipment buyer (not like those guys with their sales pitches above)

[JMRQuattro]

my friend just put 2 1000 watt rms rockford fosgate subs and a 1600 watt rockford fosgate amp in his trunk. That system, if it's up loud, makes me feel like my heart is skipping beats sometimes. It's really clean bass though it's not disgusting and rattling sounding. IMO rockford fosgate makes very good quality stuff. But it's like most of these guys said, you have to pay more to get their good quality stuff. But just search craigslist and sometimes you'll find some sick deals. My friend got the amp, subs and a dual bandpass box for $200 and it's basically brand new equipment, just last years models.

[GO-GOTEKNO]

JBL is the only way to go

i have a hifonics class d monoblock amp and 1 audiobahn 12 immortal. i made car alarms go off in the old car. i want to put it in the a4 but im tryna figure out how to hook it up to the stock symphony radio.

[pa4ul]

i hooked up my system through my rear speaker using a rca converter and hooked my remote to a fuse in the side of the front dash. i have been leaning towards a hifonics class d amp. i ll post up later cuz im cant access the site where it is. i had power acoustik all the way and it sounded great until i blew my sub and then fried my amp accidnetally spillin sum drank on it. totally fried half the resistors inside not worth gettin it fixed so thats why im lookin into a new amp. thanks for the input ill keep yall up to date cheers!

[a4darkness]

2nd on Alpine amps. Always worked well for me. And Sonic Electronics or Online Car Stereo has them at very reasonable prices.
