amp for speakers recommendation?

[cujo613]

I carry alpine where I work the price we sell it for is 399.99 car toys is clearing out the eclipse for 299.99
I know Im starting an argument, I just dont like eclipse. When I was working with thier line our shop had about a 75% return ratre on their equipment. I personally went through 3 in dash 6 disc changers and thier top of the line in dash cd. all failed within two weeks, and eclipse never returned my 18 cds that went to them. So I am a bit bitter with Eclipse, but since we started running Zapco I dont think I would ever use another amp

I'm a fan of Helix amps myself... and of course, Monolithic.

BTW Snoop... Alpine's coming out with some amps with a power output of 3 watts per cubic inch. That tops JL's figure of 1.3 watts per cubic inch. Pretty good shiet.

I can understand that if you got burnt by a product that you can harbor ill feelings. I did hear from a retailer that their old in dash CD changer was crap and failed all the time because of plastic parts so I avoided it. I'm not sure which head unit you're talking about. I currently, and for the last three years, run the CD 8052. Back in the day it was one down from the top. It has never failed me and sounds awesome. Eclipse stood be their anti theft warranty when my head unit was stolen and replaced it within a week too.

P.S. why were they returned? I heard alot of people returned them because they tried to run their subs with them. Back in the day Eclipse made nothing that was good for a sub, that's why I went with a Rockford Power BD500.

You're a jackass. If you don't understand what it's about, you're better off not commenting on it especially considering you have nothing substantive to say.

Whoa easy there killer. I just dont know what it is.. And if my guess was right, it IS f**king weak IMO. WHO CARES! Thanks for stepping up though and telling me what it means. It appears youd rather insult other members instead of educating them. Good job Big Shot!

And did you make up a word? Substantive? Please dont call me a jackass when you cant even put a cognitive post together.

PS- Here is why I think its a weak stat. It has NOTHING to do with the wattage it puts out, THD, or anything relevent to consumers/potential buyers. MAYBE I can see some tool doing the math and seeing if it fits, but thats what the dimensions are for. Now if we were discussing motors YES. 100hp/liter (like my B16) MEANS something to people. It is directly related to the engine and its output. This however, I dont see any practical use for, when you have other specs WAY more relevent in the purchasing process for consumers.

I guess you don't get much of an education in Ohio since you don't even know what the word "substantive" means. Anyways, if you had ANY clue about how an amp works, you would know that "wattage", as you put it, is hardly an indication of the truth power output handling and capacity of an amplifier, i.e. old school Fosgate Punch 45 circa 1990. By the way, what the heck is "wattage" in relation to amplifiers? Wattage in electrical terms refers to the amount of watts that an electrical devices draws from an AC/DC power supply. Second, the post wasn't meant for your consumption. It was a sidenote to snoop since he'd know what the hell I am talkin about. By the way, it's not a "cognitive" post. It's a coherent post. Go back and look up the word "cognitive" and you'll see that you misused the word altogether. I highly recommend a remedial course in English combined with a call to 1-800-ABCDEFG.

Technically the word is spelled correctly and used in the proper context.

And the W/cu in is? Come on man... really. All a consumer cares about is RMS Wattage, THD, and maybe dynamic headroom....(more so for home audio, and SPL peeps but I think oyu get my point).

And sorry, I have to say I will be willing to bet money I have WAY more education than you, lets not go there. I have to admit though. Ive never seen/heard that word ever, my bad...

Cognitive was the word I intended to use... Here it is for you: cog·ni·tion ( P ) Pronunciation Key (kg-nshn)
n.
The mental process of knowing, including aspects such as awareness, perception, reasoning, and judgment.
That which comes to be known, as through perception, reasoning, or intuition; knowledge.

I couldnt understand your post b/c of that word I never heard of... substantive... so it was right.

If you have any other problems with me man, PM me. Otherwise stop being a b***h and just tell people WTF it is already.

PS -So if you say wattage doesnt matter... why is the wattage/cu in a relevent number? It just further proves my point I made above, right?

I see that now, I fail. It happens.

 

[J32a2OwnsU]

Soooooo seriously EG6_310, why dont you tell me/others the relevence of this statistic?

 

[cujo613]

actually I care about about damping factor and slew rate

 

[dogg4217]

I have used phoenix gold products for a long time now plus I know a guy that owns an audio shop and he hooks me up with low prices but the PG products work really well.

I'm a big fan of pioneer, I say try picking up a Premier Pioneer amp
