[QUOTE="SQChevy, post: 7125907, member: 565530"] From my experience with car amps, you can notice a difference between them. Most of the difference will be noted more when the amp is being pushed more towards its maximum. The cheaper amps will have more problems as they have used cheaper components with lower tolerance parts. The higher priced amps have usually also put a lot of work into making clean amps (inside and out) that have good heat distribution and are very reliable. If you spend $50 on an amp and it craps out after a year then you say, well I only paid $50 for the amp. If you spent $1000 on an amp and it craps out in a year you call the manufacturer and they will usually replace or get it fixed for you. It's like most electronic equipment. As far as sound quality, there is a difference as remember switching my truck (sniff ...it is no more) from Audison Lrx (older blue version) to the brand new (at the time) Focal - Focal Power amps. With no other changes the sound improved even with the processor set flat. It was an impressive change. Granted part of that could have been that the speakers were the Focal Be Utopia's and worked better with the Focal amp, but none the less there was a difference in the sound of the amp. Yes, if it is set to low power and all things equal the amps will work about the same, but it's the more stressful situations that will show you which amp works the best. There is no "magical" best amp. It is dependent on many things, your speakers, power needs, ventilation, music being played, volume music is played at etc etc. Everyone is different and likes their own qualities in each amp, but I will say most of the people here can at least suggest a good variety of speakers that should do the job pretty well. If amps didn't make a difference then why are most of the World Champion vehicles that I've seen limited to about 5 or 6 main brands that you will see in their cars. I have now given my 2 cents and I will step off my soap box in preparation for retaliation [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
