[QUOTE="Milk Mayne, post: 8214638, member: 649874"] I haven't personally heard any of the Prime series speakers, but for what the amps are, they definitely do the job. I had the need for a small footprint amp that could put out 1000 watts at two ohms on a pretty low budget, and the Prime 1000 did just that without any issues whatsoever. People definitely tend to throw the "crap" and "junk" terms around all too often. Not everyone has the need for TC 5400s, or DD 9900s, nor do most people care to spend thousands of dollars on a stereo. Those of us that do, are a very small segment of the population. While I personally would never run a lot of equipment that others think is great (Kicker subs, Pioneer amps, etc), for most of the people out there, that stuff is more than adequate. The worst part about this whole rant is the fact that you're not even contemplating using some crappy low-end stuff, compared to A LOT of the stuff out there, anything from Rockford would be **** near top of the line when it comes to what your average person knows about. Anyways, I think if you're willing to swing it, to go with the Punch subs over the Primes just for output and clarity (comparatively), but I wouldn't hesitate to run the Prime amps in your application. Great job on tryin to bring another youngster up to be a basshead. If it was me though and I even had the opportunity to grow up driving shifter karts(always was my dream as a kid and I begged my parents every birthday and Christmas for one but it never happened), I don't think I would've ever got into the bass stuff as much as I have.
