Gee thanks man, that was real helpfull.
I wanted to know what some other people thought, and what amps they specifically like or dislike.

I know, and its been done before. You can easily search these or other boards to find people say what amps they like.

My Lanzar optidrives are as high quality as I'll ever need, WAY under-rated, all specs below audibility, but that's beside the point.
Brands that usually get tossed around on this subject --

JL

Arc

Tru

US Amps

McIntosh

Sinfoni

Pretty much all the over-priced stuff that can be matched in performance by any of SEVERAL other LESS expensive brands //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Yes, opti's are WAY under-rated. Very nice. Wouldn't reccomend any other lanzar amps, but opti.What model by the way?

I've got a 200.2 and 1000.1D, but I bought a 100.4 that just arrived which will soon replace the 200.2. I'm going to bridge it for ~250x2 to my components. I can finally put to rest any doubt that I have enough power up front. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

eclipse, pretty and extreme quality. and yes, overpriced as well, but then again, what amp worth buying isn't?

Aw, I forgot about them. I had a 34230; and while it wasn't high on the flexibility meter, it was an awesome amp.

Massive Audio, the whole lineup is great, especially the D400X which is one of the most powerful amplifiers on the market today.

Well, I have a RF 301s on 2 lower model Eclipse subs (Have 150wrms to one and 75wrms to the other) and it sound pretty nice, nice than just about any other system Ive heard. Never EVER had a problem with it either. My next amp will be a RF too(a 501s or 551s), once I find something good I just stick with it.

At a shop I heard an Eclipse amp powering a 15" Ti Eclipse and it sounded sweet. Probably the best sounding ive heard.
