Reputation of PROFILE?

[Harrison486 10+ year member]

Hey guys! What's going on? Well, I am in the market for an amp, and I am on a budget. I have been doing some research and have found many posts saying to stay away from boss, lightning audio, and some other brands. I am thinking about maybe purchasing a Profile amp, and was wondering what the reputation on that brand was? Is it an okay budget amp or is it trash like the rest? Thanks.

great stuff for entry level installs. awesome price per watt man. not the greatest, but AWESOME for kids who just want a stereo that does what its supposed to on budget.

not sure about the power aspect of them too much (not bad like some of the old kenwood stuff) but i have seen them dripping wet and semi rusting still working lol

yea. they do near their rated power. and for the price and build qualit (from what i can tell) - they are quite good for entry level installations. i have used three different ones, and they all have worked great.

IMO is not really anything (no offense) get it benched @ 4ohm and then tell us what the hardware says //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Call the local shops, one of them might be able to do it.

When I think of profile, I think of rated power, for a good price. Id rank them at the top of the budget amp category.

Profile does make good budget amps. I was never satisfied with two different California amps I had from them. They always got hot on me. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif
