nah man thats only MAXX power so your relaly getting like maybe 400-500 RMS if that.plain and simple its like if say you got a honda (crunch)and wanted it to perform like a cadillac(rockford)sure it was cheaper teh honda but it'll make less power and wont turn good.do you get what im saying?

brand matters to an extent, i like to look at it as tiers, you have a shitty tier and a middle tier and a high end tier.

usually within each tier brand doesnt matter as they are all pretty close to each other. the hard part is figuring out whats in each tier, and i used 3 tiers as an example but id probably realisticlly say theres like 5-6 tiers

Hey guys, Im doin my first build and I'm in the amp shopping stage. I found some 1000 and 1100 watt crunch amps for like 80-100 bucks. Ive been told go with a trusted brand but I am wondering if a 250-400 watt name brand amp if better than a 1000 or 1100 watt crunch amp...or boos for that matter....Thanks for your time

I bought a mb Quart dsc 1000.1 amp for $280.00 for my 2 12 re sr subs and it hits hard. I hit 140.5 db with it. And dont buy car audio from wal-mart trust me i used to work there as a manager.
