[QUOTE="Jay Mack, post: 7256307, member: 631312"] There are so many amplifier manufacturers out there it is hard to know which ones are any good or how to keep them straight. I can't remember if U.S. Amps, or Boss or any of the others are premium or discount manufacturers. I'd like to get your rating, based upon your experience and knowledge, on your information and belief, as to how each manfacturer's product rates on a 1 to 5 scale. I'm not talking about individual models. I mean the amp as a whole.I guess I'd put Alpine a 1 because I have a few I'm very happy with, and I gues I'd put JL Audio as a 1 because they have great word of mouth. But could you help me fill in with all the other amps out there? I had a pretty good experience with Alphasonic a while back, but it's cheap, so I'd give it a 3. Apline = 1 JL Audio = 1 Alphasonic = 3 Here's a list of amps from eBay. Maybe you know something about some of them: Absolute AudioControl Audiofonics; Audiopipe; Audiovox; Audison; Autotek; Avionixx; Baja; Bazooka;Behringer;Blaupunkt;Bose;Boss;Boston Acoustics;Brax;Butler Audio;Adcom;A D S;Alphasonik Alpine American Bass American Legacy American Pro Arc Audio Audio Art Audiobahn Cadence Canton Carver Cdt Audio Cerwin Vega Channel Plus Cherokee Clarion Clif Designs Competition Concept Coustic Crossfire Crunch Crystal Mobilesound DB Drive DHD Diamond Audio Diesel Audio Digital Audio Digital Designs Directed DLS Dual Earthquake Sound Eclipse EFX Elemental Designs Emerson Factory, OEM Farenheit Formula Fusion Genesis Hafler Harman Kardon Helix Hifonics Hitron HP Infinity Interfire JBL Jensen JL Audio JVC Kenwood Kicker Koiiler Kole Audio Lanzar LA Sound Legacy Lightning Audio Linear Power Logic Soundlab MA Audio Majestic Massive MB Quart McIntosh MDX Memphis Metra Metrik MMATS Mobile Authority MTX Nakamichi Namsung Nitro O2 Optimus Orion OZ Audio Performance Teknique Phase Linear Phoenix Digital Phoenix Gold Pioneer Planar Planet Audio Polk Audio Power Acoustik Precision Power Profile Pyle Pyramid Quad Quantum Audio Radio Shack Reality Rockford Fosgate Rockwood Rubicon Samson Scosche Shark Sherwood Sony Sound Storm Soundstream SPL Audio Swiss Audio Targa Tsunami Ultra Linear US Acoustics US Amps Vector Verge Visonik Volfenhag Xtant Zapco Zed Audio I'm sure that 80% of these amps are the same amp manufactured by the same Chinaman and just marketed under a different name. Rate those a 5. Maybe you could rate 'em and comment for me, if you know something 'on information and belief,' and tell me which ones are repetive junk and which are actually technological efforts to produce a good product. Does that sound like fun? [/QUOTE]
