There are no NON namebrand amps...

lol, you know what I meant...I have to agree with the alpine type r's, I heard them at CC...a couple months ago I was soo close to getting some Infinity Kappa 693.5i's but I decided I didnt have enough money to buy the speakers and the good amp that they would need (Actually I had the money, but spent it on a radar detector....I figure I only wanted to upgrade the 6x9's for low bass but since I have an Alpine 12" type r, I think I have enough bass for my needs )

so back on topic: bottom line, if you're going to buy good speakers, better count on getting a good quality amp :thumbsup:

Good Speakers IMO: Alpine Type S's, Infinity Reference and Infinity Kappas (693.5i or 692.5i), Pioneers (TS-6980R). All of those

Pioneer 6980: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-zgJ6Aiw3F1i/c...ch=pioneer+6980 (need 2-80W RMS)

Infinity Kappa 693.5i: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-zgJ6Aiw3F1i/c...search=infinity (need 2-110W RMS)

Alpine SPS-690A: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-zgJ6Aiw3F1i/c...0&search=alpine (need 2-50W RMS)

Good Amps for those speakers: Ask anyone else lol
The only amp I have with is a Bazooka El1500 and thats a subwoofer amp - I will say that I have had no problems with it (no overheating or repairs) and got it for $70. Pretty good for an amp that puts out about 350W RMS @ 4 ohms. When I was looking for amps, I thought about Alpine or MTX amps, I dont know why, I was a noob tho even now, I would still consider them (never heard anything bad). Good price too...MTX thunder 404 is 50W x 4 RMS at 4 ohms and is only $250 at SoundDomain.

I have seen that amp for $150 before, doesn't seem like too many people carry it anymore, maybe a model change coming out soon? or maybe they suck, idk lol

Everyone chime in because I dont know which way is up with amps and I would like to know which ones are good too
