amp recommendations

So i still havent really got my hopefully permanent highs amps yet and i was looking for some recommendations.

I need

150 X2
100-150 X2
100 X2
all at 4 ohms

I was thinking of 2 audison SRX 5's but ive had the idea of a PPI A600 in the back of my mind for a while (i would use for that 150X2) Any recommendations on what i should do?

An amp is an amp unlesss its Cadence

for installation sake...I like to see the same brand and models. Just for asthetics.
Good clean power is what you are after. Pre-amp sections of amps color sound output. So, keep that in mind. Cheap won't = good in most cases unless you are looking at used...then it'd be OK.
I consider your amp like the engine of a performance car. Why put a LT1 in a FBody when you could have a LSX Warhawk if funds allow?

well said Sketoe. Dont take short cuts on your amps. I will tell you what I like as I see that is what you are asking for. TRU Technology. Billet 6 to be exact. One amp solves it all. Or do a B4100 and B2100

I have two Audison LRx 2.150's and one 1.400 for sale. Pm me if interested.

I have the Audison LRX6420 and the LRX1.500. They were plenty expensive but they are worth it. Dont short change on the amps...or the speakers for that matter.

Well.....this is a strange discussion. On one hand an amp is an amp. It takes a signal in amplifies it and sends it on to your speakers. As long as is it is clean, and doesn't fail....it will do the job fine. Now that being said, i can give you examples of cars with amps that are not "high end" that sound unbelievable, and have won.

Mark Eldridge using JL HD amps
Mickey Brones using Old Rockford amps
My Honda using off the shelf JBL GTO amps
Gary Biggs using off the shelf JBL crown amps
Wilson Adcock using Rockford amps

Just to name a few.

Now on the flipside I have heard cars with some sick highend amps sound just as good

John Sketoe using Tru Tech amps
Jan Bennett using Steg amps
Lou Le using Steg Amps
Nick Wingate using Audison Amps
Dale Fontenote using Tube amps

So what I am saying is both ideas have merit...and both will work. You should buy a clean amp that reproduces signal with minimal or no coloration. Whether that amp be $200 or $2000, it doesn't matter. Buy the best amp you can afford that fits the parameters of your install.

Clean power vs clean power amps sound pretty much the same. The pre-amp section is where your sonic signature issues come to play IMO. A lot of times that's where the money is spent is in just getting rid of that signature or getting one with a really hopped up pre-amp section to color the sound the way you want.

Give me good clean power, let ME tune the car...not the amp's pre-amp. We be in bidness.

i would say the 2.1s but i doubt you can beat the employee accommodations from audison.

thats sorta the goal. originally i wanted only audison but i found a mcintosh for a damn good price so ill use that on my tweeters. So other then that i want to have matching amps. thats the only thing that sorta keeps me from the PPI. I just loved the sound (ive herd it on both midrange and sub bass) but i know i cant find matching amps if i go that route

I used to run a jbl gto220somethin' on my old system it sounded good, and if you wanted it to it would pound, but only put 75rms @4 ohms x2 but a bigger gto amp might fit your purpose

i know this is stupid but if im gonna thread jack might as well make it my own... hey jay is your car going to CES again?

No it is not going this year. It has become my daily driver with the economy being what it is I have sold a few of my other cars. I only have 2 now. My Bimmer and my MDX which my Fiance drives now. Plus I have gotten used to driving it and not willing to part with it again.

thats cool... im sad i wanted listen to get a demo again.
