so i was looking at these two amps http://www.woofersetc.com/p6720/ZXi-8408--Hifonics-880W-4Channel-Amplifier.htm and http://www.woofersetc.com/p3124/PX3004--JBL-4-Ch-600-Watts--Power-Amplifier-w--Electronic-Crossover.htm which would be the better buy? im looking more towards the hifonics because its alot cheaper and seems to out put what im looking for.

Personally I would go with the JBL because they appear to have a better track record than Hifonics. With that said, you would probably be more than satisfied with the Hifonics so it is a tough call.

Regardless, don't let price alone dictate which amp you choose. A cheap amp that has horrible reliability or piss poor customer service will cost you more in the long run (money, time, and misery.) Also, don't twist my words and take this as a dig at Hifonics. Instead, perform a little research since Google is your friend and make sure you are getting it from an authorized internet retailer or an internet retailer who will stand behind the product!

I'd go with JBL.

I'd go with the JBL PX300.4 if you have the extra $100. I've had their amps before it got stolen and it was the best speaker amp I've ever had. Has all the features you need as well.

JBL all the way! Hifonics are good amps for the price but Jbl are overall better ones!

Hifonics are good amps for the price

Considering how many good, used amps are out there, I wouldn't go that far //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
