Top Amps in the price range? 750.00

[chrispryor 10+ year member]

What do you all recommend for about 750 or so on a six channel amp and a mono amp. I need both and can pay basically 750 per or 1500 total. I was looking at the zed audio based on a sales persons recommendation but i would like a non biased opinion.

I want a good sounding amp more than anything. They will power the following:

1 JL Audio 10w6

Pair of JL Audio C5-650

Pair Dynaudio MW170

Pair of Rear fill MB Quart 5 1/4 Components (Cant remember model)

If you want to spend money and get something great its a good option. You can always go cheaper but it wont be a ZED amp.

i dont mind spending less that is just my budget. I looked at the review on the jl audio 900/5 amp and it seems good as well. really im lost on all of this since its been so long since ive done any car audio. i dont know what amps have improved and what amps have gone in the toilet since ive done this ten plus years ago.

basically the only things i am sticking to is the c5-650 since they are new still in the box. other than that all my stuff in my car can either be kept or go. i just want a great sounding stereo as high end as it can be on a couple thousand dollars

I'd run the JL Audio HD amplifiers again before I would consider anything Zed in the full range class D market.

The Zed Leviathan is unbeatable for the amount of power and crossover flexibility it offers on 6 channels in such a small chassis. They had issues with a defective IC in the first release, but they're on rev. 3 now.

Im loving my new phoenix gold sd 500.4 full range class d amp, however they dont make a 6 channel model...

I would recommend the JL XD600/6 and a XD600/1. Very small chassis and great sounding amps.

Masconi or AudioSystem X-Series amps.
