Profile vs. Blaupunkt?

[mavster 10+ year member]

I'm going to be pulling my nakamichis out my car soon.

They are getting pretty priceless and I don't have a great install for them yet, so I want to take them out.

But I still need to keep some music going, so which budget amps do you think I should replace them with?

I'm stuck between profile and blaupunkt..both amps are fairly cheap around the same price range, but the blaupunkt is a tad more.

Opinions?

You never mentioned the models of each amp that you’re considering

I've read that the blaupunkt velocity series are pretty good. I own a pair of blaupunkt va2200. I haven't installed them though.

I have a blau velocity 2200 and it is amazing for the price. Very underrated.

well looking at the Profile California and Blaupunkt THA series...

 

[imready77 10+ year member]

how much are either going to cost you?

 

[mavster 10+ year member]

the profiles around $150 or lower, the blaupunkt around $200

both averages are +/- $20

What if you were to factor in Pioneer into this Profile vs Blaupunkt poll?

EDIT; Disregard that, the Blaupunkt has a better sub rating, bridge 4 & 2 ohms..
