best entry level amps......

[mihklo 10+ year member]

looking to do a "decent" budget install into my jeep. been away from car audio for awhile (about 4 years) and well a lot has changed. are companies like alphasonik, planet audio, cadence, mb quart, autotek, ect...... junk now as far as entry level 4 channel amps? looking for a 4 channel that can do 3-500 bridged and enough to power a front stage @ 60 watts and up. ive found plenty that have those ratings by those brands listed but have no idea if they are junk now......

MB Quart ONX4.80/500 - 980W RMS ONYX 5-Channel Car Amplifier/Amp

so the onyx series is decent? i was looking at one of their 4 channel amps. only looking to run a set of comps on the front channels and bridge the rear for a 8" sub.

Yeah, what's the RMS of your sub? there's plenty of other fish in the sea. whats the largest amount of money you're willing to spend?

dont have a sub yet.......looking at the skar 8" that theyre running a special on. the cheaper the better for me. trying to do a complete setup (double din dvd, amp, comps, and sub) for under 7, but the closer to 6 the better. yes i know, not a lot of money, but you know how that goes. no competitions here, just lookin to upgrade the stock setup.

eeewwww, i know where you're coming from, but the fact that you're getting a double DIN touch HU for less than $700 itself is shady AF.

Probably a trash HU, unless you're getting a sweet hook up from a friend. You're better off getting a mid-level Alpine HU and getting way more performance out of it than a Cheap $150 BOSS touchscreen radio.

im just assuming you're talking about a touchscreen HU.

I was lookin at the pioneer 3400. I know obviously not the best but within the budget. that's around 320, amp 120(onyx 480) sub 100, comps (lookin at the incriminator) 120. So @660 for that.
