Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Car Audio / March 2005Car Amplifier Selection
I need to buy a 4 channel amplifier and want reliability and the best sound possible. I will be buying a separate amp for a sub so the 4 channel amp will be driving 2 sets of 4-way 6X9 speakers. Does anyone have experience or opinions on the following brands? Alphasonik MTX SoundStream JLAudio PhoenixGold I currently have a Kenwood Excelon that I am installing in another car and would like an upgrade for my truck. > I need to buy a 4 channel amplifier and want reliability and the best sound > possible.

Dude! The best sound you can shaking the street is to build your own studio in your car. You need a recording equipment in your car because these equipment are not like a car stereo equipment you see in shop. For example, you can install these recording equipment in your car: 100,000 Watts amplifier 10-way 60x90 spearks 1000 pound of subwooofers Imagine you driving a big truck and delivers 100,000 watts power of amplification. Man you will be winner of street audio competition today! Right well good luck with all of that....I would recommend the soundstream, phoenix gold or even a directed amp. Any of these will be better than the kenwood excelon. >> I need to buy a 4 channel amplifier and want reliability and the best > sound [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > amplification.

Everyone has their favorite brands and I'm afraid it will be difficult to reach any kind of concensus on a question like that (it's a little like asking what the best color is). Actually, all of those manufactureres make really good amps. MOSFET I agree with MOSFET wholeheartedly. I have a 7 year old 4 X 50 Crunch amp and even it is pretty good. You should keep in mind that even within a particular brand you can have several lines of varying quality amps. MOSFET wrote: "Actually, all of those manufactureres make really good amps." Exactly. Choose the one that has the features you need.

All amps have power output - not all amps have the SAME power output. How much power he wants is one of the choices he has to make when picking an amplifier.

I'm going to add this to your "Best Of" thread, since even though I have NO idea what the hell you're talking about, it's still kind of funny. SG Thanks. I ended up buying the Xenon 100.4. I'll let you'll know how I like it when it's finally installed. Wow, Alphasonik (Visonik to us old dudes) that brings back memories. I have a couple of their amps that are still going strong after several vehicles and almost 20 years. Their big amp only put out 55 watts per ch then but they built them to last. I don't think you could go too wrong with any of the brands you listed. Check online and find the best deal for the power you need.

Careful with the new Alphasonik. they are NOT the same company as before, not even close. The Alphasonik amps produced nowadays are made by the same company that makes Anaba and Mobile Authority, not exactly an authority on amplifiers. USA Acoustics used to own the trademark, but sold it to this other company. Pre-2000 are still good, but after that, look for overrated specs and everything else that goes with that territory. Too bad, they used to be quite reputable. > I need to buy a 4 channel amplifier and want reliability and the best sound > possible.

I agree with the Alphasonic. Took a look at a couple and they appear poorly made. Just my 2 cents. |
