Hey,
Im in the planning stage of my first system upgrade and kinda lost on which amp i should get. I've already got my headunit, speakers, and sub. Just need to decide on which amp would be best to run everything.. Im really into sound quality so any tips on how i can ARCHIEVE that then please, help a noobie out ! anyways ...OH and everything is going into a 1993 Supra. if that also helps.

What i have currently have

Headunit
-Denon DCT-Z1

Speakers
-Dynaudio ESOTAR2 with the Dynaudio passive crossovers ( Not sure but might be going Active )

Subwoofer
- 12" Rockford fosgate Power Series T1

[Big_Valven]

I'd consider anything from Genesis, Arc Audio, JL Audio HD or slash, brax, etc etc

PS sell me your Z1

make sure the RF T1 is in a sealed box, its an amazing sub but i didnt like the RF recommended ported box....just so loud and boomy....but the sealed box alternative sounds fantastic.

for me i would choose a few different brands:

JL audio slash series (dual 300/2v2 plus 1000/1v2)
genesis (dual DMX amps would be perfect)
dls
arc, zapco
brax, helix comp

[TAZR6]

Tru Tech Billet

[muzzy66]

DLS Reference / Ultimate, Tru Tech Billet, Brax / Helix (if you can find them).

They would be the ones I'd be looking at

Add some processing - I believe the Denon is a pure source, so adding a processor (such as the Audison BitOne or BitTen) will give you the ability to play with phase, equalisation, time alignment and when you go active, crossovers and independent levels.

As for amplifier recommendations, what is your budget?

Hello again guys, sorry I've been real busy lately so everything has just been on hold. I'm planning to get back to work on the synd system in my car, as its just sitting there , EH SO MAY ASWELL HEY XD, my budget isn't really a concern, i'd prefer something that's more into the same level as what I currently have already.

I use the JL "Slash" amplifiers with Esotar² 430 and Esotec MW180 and MD130.

very good match in sound, and very compact for ClassAB amplifiers.

Not sure about the Rockford Sub in my personal experience.
