So I take it Audiobahn is generally crap?

How about Blaupunkt?

Yea audiobahn overall is a shitty brand. And I have never heard of blankrupt.

Really man you're just going to find a bunch of shit looking for cheap amps on those sites.

Go to the classifieds and make a thread

"WTB: Amp for components"

state how many watts your are looking for and state how much money you are willing to spend.

That is my suggestion. I'm out.

audiobahn has really inefficient amps man, there is a tone of great brands out there for cheap. i have tho thro this out there, sundown is cheap as hell for the price man and are great amps, there are many other good bargain brands tho.

Where do most of you guys buy your equipment? I know a lot of people buy second hand, but they have to be bought new at some point, but I have a hell of a time finding most of the brands mentioned on this site. I'm just not real big on buying second hand, especially with high powered equipment like this that can be damaged so easily.

I just looked up Sundown amps and the cheapest I can find is a 100.2 for $299. That's about 3x my price range. heh.

I've heard very good things about Hifonics, how does this look?

i use a hifonics atm

iv herd really great things, but there all about there huge amps(Goliath and vXX) I'm using a brutus 1606 and it never gets hot,puts out a easy 1k watts at 2 ohm (rated at 1100) may not do exactly what its rated at but runs great and never gets hot(also drains vary little power from your bat) I'm about to buy another one and strap them=)

That's looking like my best bet then.

It looks like a very flexible unit too. Up to 400W bridged is pretty good if I ever decide to try something different.

Thats the best one that you have said yet.

But it still may not be the greatest. I owned a hifonics amp and it didnt give me too much trouble.

But, they are decent budget amplifiers. Make sure yours doesnt get clip happy.

i have been really happy with my hifonics man, great amp,as long as you don't run it under 1 ohm anyway, i have also seen some pics of some fried hifonics after i got mine but when ran right it has done nothing but please me

Ok, now that the amp question is out of the way... how about some 6 1\2 components?

I'm shooting for the $100 range.

Since they are going into the doors, they'll have to be a fairly standard size. I know these aren't anything too crazy but I like them because of the integrated crossover and the high power handling.

Now that's what I'm talking about! That place has a hell of a selection and nice prices.

I'll keep that Kicker amp in mind too.

Thanks man. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

These look pretty nice... and they're cheaper than the Alpine set I was looking at:

Only thing I'm not sure about is if they will fit my car. I know its pretty cramped in the doors.

EDIT: Or maybe I should just go all the way and get these.

Anyone think that the 6.5" PG RSD comps will have any problems fitting in the doors in an '06 Sonata?

 

[Hintzyboy 5,000+ posts]

Just go with a decent 2ch and a good set of comps (Those RSDs can't be beat for the price). For the price listed, that Kicker mentioned early in the thread would be a great amp. Otherwise, there are always good deals in the classifieds on here.

I have a BNIB Eclipse EA2212 for $75 shipped if you're interested.

I wouldn't even bother with rear speakers. Personally, I'd unplug the ones that are in there. You'll get all the sound you need out of the RSDs.
