?? Amps - Kenwood v Coustic v Pioneer

[RGS]

Any thought on these three brands?

Looking at buying a 4ch AMP either new or 2nd hand up to ~$400 and want to be sure of making the right choice.

The idea is to run all four speakers of this puppy. Eventually a sub will follow.

Currently running Sony gear - bad mistake....

cant argue with the Jaycar response for price versus quality versus power

www.jaycar.com.au

also you could pick up a 2 channel and bridge the fronts and the rears to 1 channel each more power =)

i would agree with no respect! response has a great 4 chan amp for about $400....

i would run the fronts off the amp, rears off the head unit and bridge the 2 channels left for the sub...get a half decent sub, and you will have a good quality sounding system

(upgade the battery will be wise...skylines always have dodgy batteries!)

NO_RSPECT is correct.

for $400 u wont get shit in big name brands.

jaycar makes good amps and their cheap, but ppl think eeewww its a jaycar its gotta be shit.

for $400 to run 4 speakers is pretty hard.

i got a v12 cost $900 jsut to run my front splits.

o it has sub output but thats just shit.

You should be able to get a decent amp for $400 - If you want comp grade stuff and make lots of noise then of course you have to pay for it. Its only if you hear the really good stuff will you want it You can always upgrade later down the track if you're not happy with the final result.

A good "mid range" amp you'll probably going to get good sound out of and you'll be happy with - its going to sound better than the face-unit amp at least. Just don't get anything too bargain basement ($250 for a 4 channel) because i have heard people try to go too low grade and they sound shit.. hissing, other noise, lack of clarity, everything. Its not good! If you've got reasonable speakers than it seems a waste to destroy the final result by a very poor amp.

Thanks for your tips guys - learning quickly.

For $400 odd buck the Jaycar doesnt look too bad - ugly though

I guess I coul always sell it on E-bay if it was sh*t and go an upgrade later!

Cheers again!

How do the jaycar amps compare to the audioline amps?

i just wanna power a sub and i think that audioline is cheaper.
