[QUOTE="Frankensuby, post: 2234131, member: 569869"] So I spent several hours today ripping apart my gf's car and rerunning wires, 3 RCA's and an installation kit for dual amps. I planted a Pioneer GM7200 Mono amp and a Power Acoustik PS4-240 speaker amp right next to it, only to find out when all is hooked up that the PA amp is worthless. It plays, and amplifies, but it draws a continuous current when the ACC is on but nothing is being played...draining the battery and making a weird noise. The Pioneer amp works fine, no noise or interference coming through. It got dark out so I gave up on it after trying a few things. My last test will be plopping my A6004T speaker amp in the back, because I know that that has no interference or issues at all. Now, I am looking for good replacements. I want something that I know will not be dead when I get it. Here are some amps I am looking into: Alpine MRP- F250 Kenwood KAC-6402 Kicker ZX200.4 Phoenix Gold R5.0.4 All are within 15 watts RMS (speakers are 35 watts RMS) and within 20$ of each other. If anyone has sound advice either from experience or very reliable sources, it would be greatly appreciated. I'm leaning towards the Kicker because it is EXACTLY what I want, but I've heard some people grumble about Quality changes. Same with the PG amp, but they could just be grumbling made up info. Please help [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] Thanks [/QUOTE]
