yeah, i love pioneer HU, and some amps are pretty good too, but it all comes down to price.... keep in mind that u get what u pay for thats why i always try to buy the best and stayt away from the cheap stuff bc when u try to save money getting a cheap amp u end up having to buy a good one.... it happend 2 me with the boss now i only use it for highs and it still sucks lol..

good luck!!!
-let us know what u are thinking of buying BEFORE u buy it-

Well, of the two, the JBL is a better amplifier.

Here is a better scenario:

What impedance are your woofers? I assume they are each SVC 4 ohm, and you are bridging a 2 channel amplifier to each one? My recommendation would be sell both amplifiers and purchase a mono-block amplifier that does a solid 400 watts RMS into a 2 ohm load.

I've had great experiences with the amp below. It also will provide a solid 600 watts RMS, which allows you room to upgrade the subwoofers in the future, and some headroom to ensure you don't clip the outputs.

JBL all the way man............. JBL kicks ass trust me!!!! i wish u could hear my system...

just like a pic its worth a 1000 words
hearing my **** its worth..... i dont know... no words to describe it

The main difference between the cheap amps and the expensive ones is companies like JBL dosn't lie about the output power and when they say 100 watts they mean 100 watts RMS while the cheap ones use bogus specs like Peak Power .... I can make a 10 watt RMS amp put out 1000 watts peak ... for a few milliseconds anyway

Peak wattage is for the most part a bogus measurement that can be twisted any way the manufacturer wants to ... that is why no pro sound or home stereo systems are rated in peak power but in the long ago decided standard RMS ....

A rule of thumb, if the peak power is in huge letters and the RMS power is in fine print (or non-existant) Run don't walk the other way, it's junk

The expensive ones are often not over rated. In the case of a Hifonics BX1500d. When tested it does 930RMS @ 1 ohm w/ I beleive it was 12.6 volts. So much for that 1500 RMS rating.

with the money you spent on the two lighting audio and the money your going to spend on the boss you could of had a good amp that would of lasted

Man O Man, those AMPS are only $24 on eBay, talk about saving money...

SPECS:

• 2-channel Amplifier - 450 Watts Max Power

• MOSFET Power Supply

• Variable Crossover: 40-400Hz

• Selectable HP/LP Crossover

• 12dB/Oct Crossover • Input Level Control • High Level Inputs

• Internal Fuse Protection

• Custom Chrome Cover

• Variable 0-12dB Juice Boost Bass EQ

• Thermal Protection

I hope your alternator can handle them.

haha ouch dude....no offense
