your opinions on this...


what do you guys say about these 3 amps? and does anyone have any other recommendations in a similar price range?


nevermind the link wont show the comparisons from crutchfield...im lookin at the Infinity Beta 300 watt, Profile 1200SX 300 watt and US Acoustics USX800F 300 watt...they run between $350 and $400

I didn't think Crutchfield was selling the Infinity amp any more? Anyways, I have the Digital 300 and I really like it. It powers my perfects good. The only problem is your deck must have bilt in crossovers or you must have an external crossover because this amp has none.

A profile amp is pure ****. The important lesson to take from this topic is that printed specs are useless. As said above, the only one of those 3 that I'd ever consider would be the Infinity, but that would be quickly outchosen by Kicker or Rockford.

personally...i like the ALpine V12 amps. they are good amps and put out alot of clean power. One thing to rememeber, the power they say they put out is minimum power they can put out, they normally test higher then they say. u'll get a slip w/them. plus they test at 12 volts and u get about 1/3 more power at 14.4 volts. for instance my 600 watt amp actually put out 700 watts at 12 volts and about 1000 at 14.4 volts. pretty good for $360
