what brands hold their value best?

[murphd 10+ year member]

I'm looking to buy a 4 channel amp that will be worth the most in a year or two relative to what I have to pay for it. I'd like to stay under $400 but can afford more. The amp will be driving 6.5 comps and 2 10" subs. Would like at least 150w/ch.

Memphis holds there value the best that i have found, one year warranty if you buy them straight out. 3 year warranty if you have a memphis certifies installer put them in.

Thx, but I need enough 4 ohm power to drive the 6.5 diamond comps up front. I'd like closer to 200w/ch if possible. The money is not that important as long as I can get the right amount out of it in a year or two.

doesnt make much sense

maybe get a nice old school amp? you can more than likely get all your money back, maybe more if ya get one for a good deal. he is a decent one as an example.

Zapco, or Arc, are some of the best amps to be had. Old School used to have some good names to buy, but among all the names, Zapco still can't be bested. IF I had the money, I would have bought Zapco.
