Rockwood.
Jensen.
The list goes on and on.
Cheap is cheap.
when you want a "decent" amp, go mainstream to the stuff in circuit city and best buy.
If you want a above 'decent" amp look into the lower PG line.
Want a good amp look into Pg Ti, PPI, Zapco, etc....

the best amps i have seen for the money and quality, are rockford fosgate. they make true power of what they say-(go by model #- 401s is 400 watts) they are usually a good deal and for the money your getting the best sound.

try to get ahold of a '95 fosgate amp, model number 200ix. if you want to go extreme the fosgate power 500m will handle them maybe even break them.

Buddy borrowed one during my down time to power 2 w3's in a cavalier and they pounded nice and sounded tight as **** and the amp never got hot.

Hell a 1000watss from a none brand comany for $125 bucks?? **** YEAH

Gotta love ebay. Cant wait til I get them both

I dont know about the new fosgate amps they suck the best ones were the ones from the 90' they were worth the money and they had a lot of power. Im rocking a us amp .400 and at 1200 watts its bad 1/2 ohm stable it was pushing 6 12' and for highs ads. pq20 if you can find a us amp they are worth the money.

well pretty much the new fosgate amps these days...you can find them basically anywhere...from circuit city-to the swat meets/flea markets...so they would categorize themselves as low end amplifiers just w/ a good name written on them. they pretty much made a name for themselves already so they wouldnt care...if you're gonna buy a fosgate amp that has 1000 watts already to it...why not just spend a couple more bucks and grab something better...zapco..mmats...

personally, PPI Art Series amps are cheap for what you get. Also the old Rockford Fosgate stuff - liek a Punch 60ix with the rounded endcaps and the BBQ style! Great bang for the buck!

Default soundstream!

How about my Old School Soundstream MC500 amp!? 125w x 4!!! That's at 4ohm...this bad boy is rated to 2ohm stable, but anyone that knows old school soundstream knows it'll go lower then that.

Old school soundstream is good...I have an old Reference 500sx around that is still kicking very strong. Balanced inputs, high current design....it's a very nice amp...

Just why do you have so many amplifiers? LOL
Been their now I just have a handful left.
I have the 10.2 and old Picasso. An old ADS 6 channel and a old fosgate. The 10.2 and Picasso I will probably keep because they are not worth selling. I think these went for $1000 each I would be lucky to get $200.
