Default Amps

I looking to buy some decent amps to run 2 x 500W subs and got this link from a friend http://www.allyourbass.co.uk/?menu=1&productid=3

This stuff just looks too cheap to be good.Anyone have any experience with these amps? Or have any tips on either 2x mono blocks or a decent 4 channel?

Cheers Stan

they are unavailable if you look, plus vat,

postage is only £5.95 so to me this means they arent very heavy so on that basis i would say they are shite

You get what you pay for ...

Some of the very best quality subs around .. and amps to go with them are JL-Audio .. I have a 12" in my beemer .. and two W3 15" in my van driven by individual Vibe amps each with a power cap. Maybe these are too poweful for you (they can harm the body!)
V12 Alpine amps are also great for the money ..
So are Rockford Fosgate.
Super-high rms power claims aren't usually justified .. specially with the Japanese names.
The quality lies in chassis design and the voice coils .. and large transformers with expensive components in the better amps.
