[QUOTE="RCollier, post: 424688, member: 554308"] I wasted $350 on 2 inexpensive amps and spent more than $100 trying to get someone to professionally adjust gains and rework grounds and other wires trying to get rid of hiss. Noisy signal doesn't bother everyone, just like poorly adjusted subs don't bother the punks that pull up behind you at a stop light. But I was convinced that the signal to noise ratio and power ratings of the amps I bought were nothing but lies. After a couple months I finally convinced my wife to let me replace the junk amps I bought with the JL 500/5 amp. It's the best $900 ( $800+$100 installation) I've ever spent on car audio. The installer, highly respected in audio competition in my area, said only the new MQ Quart amps could come close to price / performance of a JL. When I compared the $800 I was going to spend for 5 channels of amplification, I didn't think it was pricey, and the footprint is an added bonus. [/QUOTE]
