Help Choosing Amp

[SPLVan]

i most of you frown upon Planet Audio and all their amps. but i cant really get a nice soundstream or RF amp in my price range. ive got about $100-$120 MAX to spend. ive found a few planet audio amps that would work for me. What do you guys think?

Kind of low on the power im looking for

Still kinda low..

Right where i want to be

but will any of those amps give me their rated power? Any suggested amps within my price range will be appreciated..

are you looking at the max power ratings because they are pointless to go by RMS is where its at and look at how the amps are fused as well that will usually tell you whether or not the amps does anywhere near rated power or not (i.e. 5000 watt amp fused for 80a maybe does 700 watts rms

No im looking at the RMS. and the 950W RMS amp i listed has (3) 30A fuses.

And will that AUDIOPIPE APSM-1300 really give me 1000w RMS?

P.s my subs are 300w RMS each so together is 600wRMS i would like around 1000wRMS so i can keep the gain on the amp down and still have extra power than kinda guaranteed. if you get what im trying to say.

i completely understand that i was just telling him to watch out for the fake ratings

op the audiopipe has my vote for rated power that you are looking for for a really good price

I really hate to say this, actually, I can't believe I am about to say this....Check out Onlinecarstereo.com and look at some of their stuff....here comes the painful part....Lanzar....I know they are junk, but I had one for my first amp, and with 2 15's it was the loudest system in town for the year that is lasted. Lanzar amps are dirty power though, so you have to be careful with that gain knob...

Or just save up a bit and get something a little better...Audioque maybe? Kenwood? Alpine? They all make affordable amps, you just need to know what will work and how much amp you want or need.

I was looking at some lanzar amps. but the old POS lanzar amp ive got now clips like a so i dont think ill ever go back. and i do have the money for a better quality brand.. i would just never be able to justify spending it on "that thing with the wires coming from"-Mom i took me the better part of a year to get my mom to understand why i want my windows/doors to shake when i play my music..
