Are you looking at putting anything else in your car? eg. Subs?

If i were looking for an amp, I would consider getting a well branded one,

even if it was used.

Reason is that it's designed to take alot of punishment, last longer and they usually produce alot more power. They won't fly easily too. Once you start getting into the technicals of changing ohms and bridging, you may have wished you got a better amp.

I had a SOAT(cheap) amp, originally decided to power fronts, but then got the BASS bug (2 Soundstream 12s dual voice coil) but didn't have funds to buy another amp at the time so I started playing with the ohms and bridging.. It was only 2ohm bridged and to put it simply, the amp circuitboard ended up catching on fire and toasted everything. :cry:

yeah i too have had a cheap amp story.. was borrowing one of those cheap boss amps and it decided to blow up, also taking out my $500 dollar Kiker sub

amps are one of those things that u shouldn really go cheap on...

Hey, have u guys thought about Jaycar? Their 4x50 WRMS amps are pretty good. I have got one, had it for about three years and done some silly stuff on it (try 2 ohms bridged- naughty!) and it is still kicking. It has been booted, dropped, etc, etc. Normally would agree with the 'don't go a cheap amp' thing, but these are serious value for money...blah blah blah.

At the end of the day, $249.

for the price jaycar's performance cannot be beaten
