I can get the JBL package for around 335US and the Memphis for 515US. I just don't know which ones to take. Can someone help me to figure out these numbers ?

Thanks,

if the $180 difference is not that big of a deal to you...then i'd go with the memphis. But, if it were me...i'm about getting the rms power i need w/ least amount of money...and i'd go jbl. BUT, the memphis is better quality IMO, so if u got the money...go with it. peace

If you have the $515US for the Memphis package, go for it.

Si vous avez le 515$US pour le packet de Memphis, allez pour il.

Seeing that you are in Canada, check out http://www.genuinecanadianaudio.com and look at the Interfire amps. Saves on the exchange rate and border fees. Very high quality amplifiers.

Voir que vous êtes dans le Canada, payez la note http://www.genuinecanadianaudio.com et regarde les amplis de Interfire. Très les amplificateurs de qualité supérieure.

The Memphis would be a very fine choice.

See what you can put together with the Interfire amps ... they seem to be of just as high quality.

Memphis..........

Do memphis, their amps put our much crisper, cleaner sound than the jbl. Whichever amp you choose, you will get great sound out of it.
