Rainbow Germs : Zapco amp or JL for sound quality ?

[Jumbo Jet 10+ year member]

Are you talking about a PS-2 cable as in a PlayStation 2 cable?..... I had no idea.

I think the Zapco would be a nice long term goal, but for now I'm going to start with a 300/4v2 and bridge it to 150w. My V-Series F550 Alpine has a faint hiss to it, I thought it was my install, but my buddy let me hook up his 300/2v2 to see, and was as clear as a bell..... the hiss was completely gone and the speakers sounded so much cleaner. Maybe my next truck will have a Zapco in it, but this one will be upgraded to 2 new JL's. I'm sure the Germs will sound really nice on it.

PS/2 mouse or keyboard cable. There was life before USB.

try this maybe? they can be had on ebay cheaper //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif will give you a little more headroom but then again 25 additional watts can not really be called additional headroom.

maybe an alpine MRP-F600? I have one and love it. I have it bridged on my ID comps and am sending 300 watts to each side //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

i plan to have a pair of these one day in my system. the us1000x on my comps(provided i stay passive) and a us1000 on my sub. my max would love that //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I'd take the Zapco just because of the name and also it's a bit more powerful in bridged mode, but also the jl is significantly cheaper , is a more flexible amp and has more power/ch. you can't go wrong with either.
