Hi ppl,

I need an opinion on which amps are the better buy. It will be a SQ system. I need a 2 ch amp for my 165K2p's and a mono amp for my single 12w3v2. I would like to have both amps to be from the same make but dont mind if they are mixed. Budget $1000 or less for each amp. $2000 or less total.

My options are:

Zapco Ref 350 $848 (2X100w) & Zapco Ref 500M (1X360w) $888

Audison LRX 2.250 $699 (2x120w) & Audison LRX 1.400 (1x350w) $899

Tru T-series 2.100 (2x100w) $978 & Tru T-series 2.100 (1x400w bridged) $978

PG Xenon 100.2 (2x100w) $730 & PG Xenon 400.1 (1x400w) $750

RF Punch P5002 (2x125w) $799 & RF Punch P6001bd (1x300w) $1199

Any other amp suggestions would be great.

Thanks.

jlaudio 1000/1 with 300/4 $1750

great options hard to separate all those great brands you have listed

2 x arc audio 2100 xxk $799rrp each

2 x 100wrms 4ohms
1 x 360wrms 4ohms

$1598 rrp for both

yeah all good amps, either combination should be good.

the only thing id point out is that id personally choose a 1000watt rms plus sub amp..but if you can live with 500watts rms thats still ok

depends on the sub i guess

idmax, jlaudio 13w7, re xxx would rather 1000watts rms

DLS A3 and DLS A6 would be really nice !

I'd take the Zapco combo over the Arc - you get Symbilink with Zapco. I wouldn't touch the RF, PG over Zapco, Audison and Tru.

The Tru T2.100 is probably going to be the most powerfull amp in real world terms from your list and it was recently voted the best amp for under 500pounds in a uk mag.
