[QUOTE="Jimg, post: 8813961, member: 676695"] I do not want to give any brand a bad name but I have had a couple of amplifiers from well known companies go bad One brand the sub amp and the 4 channel amp went bad. The other brand the sub amp is working but the 4 channel just kicked out. To me it is not worth the trouble to ship them back, paying repair cost etc. I know I have hooked them up correct. I am not over driving, or clipping. Also not getting any voltage drop. So I feel I am good to go on the install. What brands are good to go. What are you getting 3-5 years or more reliable performance. I ran Linear power amps back in the 90’s. They got a little hot but never let me down. I would not pay the cost they are today. Rockford Fosgate, are they worth the cost On the punch and power series? audio legion is having a big sale. I know they are going out of business, so no support. But at the cost are they good to go? Sony Xm series, they seem to be well built, but has anyone used them? Alpine R series. Anyone have any experience with them. What brand and models would you go with? Looking for a 4x100 and a mono amp in the 1500-2000 watt range budget per amp 600 or less each. If there are reliable amps below the 400 range per amp cost I am open to all options. I feel like I am through with the low cost cookie cutter budget Chinese amplifiers. [/QUOTE]
