Been running a Profile AP1040 in the GF's car for around 8 months now with no isssues. Seems to be a very solid budget amp, not sure about the Baja line though...

the baja line is decent! i dislike pa stuff though. my choice would be the profile!

CS.org has a decent amount of feedback on Profile amps. That's why I decided to try one. I also run one in my car for rear fill. I'd buy another one with no hesitation...

cs.org? tried that and got some weird stuff about save the rain forest or something. is that short for something else?

found another profile to add to the maybe list ,,, AP740. big thing about the profiles is that they are less watts than the PA one? is it going to make that big of a deal for me?

thoes profile's are fairly solid amps. IMO I dont think much of PA's stuff. I had a bad experience with them once, and it ruined me for life. With reguards to the wattage issue, I dont think you could tell the difference, and I really don't think the PA can put out what it says.... My vote goes to the profile......

Yay Democratic system!!! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/thumbsupwink.gif.129404938effda6ad9cca39e7f4b58a3.gif
