amp suggestion

[James Bang 5,000+ posts]

You would seriously buy those Bear Mountain units before a Profile? Why is that?

As a matter of fact, I would personally choose my "ID" amps before the profile. build wise, I don't know which are better, for im not an amp gut specialist, but the specs of the amp are perfect for a 2 12" idq setup. If I could, I have 2 12" idqs on the larger amp, and ID comps ran off the smaller one. Then I would have an all-out ID setup //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/drool.gif.b5e863e893038027711d4402f340dad0.gif :drool: also these BMA amps (i mean ID) do look well built.

well i wouldnt mind spending up to 150, but if the profile amp will sound just as good as, lets say, the hifonics amp, then of course ill go with the profile amp.

my friends who run the idq both used to run about 300rms to them, so i guess a 300 rms amp should be suffiencnt for me. i've read about the hifonics bx605 amp through the forums and it seems to be underrated. but i havent heard anything about the infinity amp.

but if those amps sound jsut as good as the profile, then ill order the profile right away.

you and your quoting //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif
yin wei,

di yi ti - zhe ge bear mountain amps chassis looks much better

di er ti - the board looks better than the profile, kinda like those "mid-level" korean boards if you know what im sayin //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

profile is good, but only for the money //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

i only understood the yi = 1 and er = 2

i like your type of oranges.

My bro had two 12" idq on a bx605 and they sound pretty sweet and clean, even though he was running a hi-low converter. My choice would first be my ID amp , and second the bx605, also because they're class a/b unlike the others of that line. Also they run for about $100. My bro might be selling his, but im not sure. He can't choose between that or his soundstream 501.

ga ne ma! jp

Alright - just by looking at the pictures I'll allow that the BMA amps do appear to be built more heavily than the Profiles are.

But I'll have to reiterate that in my personal experience (and that of many, many others) the California-series Profile amps are pretty freggin dependable and do close to or at rated power.

Myself, I have owned a 440SX, a 400SX, a 600MSX, a CA400, a and CA600M. None of them ever gave me a moment's trouble and for what I paid for each of them they were well worth it. I can only personally speak of the current condition of the 440SX and the 400SX 'cause they were sold to a close friend but I bought both of them BNIB from Crutchfield the year they were new. Used 'em both for quite some time then sold 'em to my friend Greg. He's got both of them still in use in his wife's van and they still keep rockin' on without complaint and sound more than decent doing so.

At the end of the day I think $50 + shipping for factory-direct w/ a warranty for the output level that soul05's single IDQ needs is a pretty unbeatable deal.

That's only my $0.02 so we can disagree without being disagreeable, //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

$50 + ship does not sound bad at all. Whatever gives you rated 250-300w for the price. BTW IDQs are awesome. sweet sq. doesn't get too low, but makes up for it w/ its smoothness. Bass-strings are amazing.

 

[flakko 5,000+ posts]

wow...really good price

 

[soul05 10+ year member]

based on performance/price i should get a msx600 over a bx605 then. would there be any reason to get the bx605 over the msx600?

I can't say, cause i've haven't had experience w/ the profile, but hey it's only $50 + ship.
