I'm just wanting to get peoples opinions in this. I'm alway discovering new brands that make really nice high-end equipment, but their prices are usually high. The brands I recently discovered were Ground Zero Audio and Hertz (I know about their comps, but the make nasty subs and amps). How much do you guys think is the maximum you should pay for a quality product? I not asking how much you would pay, but the maximum for quality. I think $1000 for a good 4000+ watt amp is fair. I would pay accordingly for the increase in power. I think for $1000, the Cadence ZRS-6 is the amp to beat. Subs are kinda tricky to me. I could see me spending $1000 for a sub if it could have a ZRS-6 without sweating. I know subs like Steve's, FI, T3, TC Sounds, RE MT etc. are all good, but vary in price.
