[QUOTE="HardofWhoring, post: 8837900, member: 674149"] Personally I wouldn't go with either one, but your call. JL audio is good stuff. My experience has been generally built better than average, but you definitely pay for a name. I would bet a 1000w JL amp is probably $400-$500. If you were pushing a nice set of components, and you wanted an amp with minimal distortion, (getting close to audiophile territory) I would go JL. I don't see the point in spending twice as much for a JL amp to push subs. It's more important to match wattage than name brands. There's the video on how to do it, but I personally wouldn't spend twice as much just to matchey matchey the name brands. I'm sure you could find a decent 800w amp for half the price. If you PLAN on needing more power then go ahead. I would think that video is best for people who already have an amp collecting dust, that will work but was designed for more. You can do it no problem, your call. Just seems to me like your spending money for no reason, and you're never going to get it back. If you're not going to need 1000w now, when will you? (just my $.02). [/QUOTE]
