[QUOTE="gunz4me2, post: 7229537, member: 613729"] A quality amplifier is important if you want something that gives you rated power and won't crap out on you. There are some diamonds in the rough out there, but, for the most part, a $50, 500 watt amplifier is a POS that may deliver less power than your stock radio. Things to factor into an amplifiers cost would be design quality, build quality, customer service track record, and overall company greed. With all that typed, just because something is more expensive, doesn't mean it is automatically "the best". Brands like Critical Mass and AC Shockwave come to mind for having outrageous pricing for average products. Granted, there are some nice items in the Critical Mass lineup, but there is NO WAY I would spend $12k on their [URL="http://icondealerservice.com/catalog/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=135"]ULA-A5[/URL]! If I was going to start putting that kind of money into a car stereo, it would be from the Audison Thesis line! [/QUOTE]
