[QUOTE="audiolife, post: 5808252, member: 541383"] most people who smoke cheap amps would smoke a more expensive amp..I worked retail for 7 or 8 years...same *** hat that would nuke a 250 dollar hifonics amp would tourch a $800 dollar JL/Kicker/RF/PG/ insert name of your favorite amp here. Even if it was installed by the shop the customers would always get in and start screwing with stuff because their buddies know more than the shops and the installers.....I can remember 100's of times over the years looking at blown amps with gains cranked x overs set wrong and kiddies trying to power 2000+ watts on a stock honda electrical system with EVERYTHING cranked. Instead of learning from THEIR mistakes it is easier on the ego to just call what they bought junk. Hell I even remember a guy who said I was a retard for hooking up his Lanzar Vibe amp "wrong". I had his subs in series and he thought his 89.99 1000 watts of Lanzar Vibe should kill his GF's audiobahn 12's. So I told him how to wire it in parrallel and me and his GF sat back and laughed at him when his fuses would blow on the amp. Was I being a cock?
