ok most of your choices are pretty bad...
however, the kenwood, pionneeer, and cerwin vegas are pretty good.
kenwood is your best bet
crunch amps run so hot, the burned a CR into my friends hand.
the kenwood is very gooood. my friend has one running to JLs and it sounds amazing.
although the ones i said suck say they have a higher RMS, it is still not as loud as a higher quality, lower rated amp.
take my advice and get the kenwood. they run cool, deliver really clean power, and will give you more power than the rated power of the crunch amps and the like.

i think i'm going for the A Profile Califorina Series (the blue one) 800 watt 2x200 Rms has any one had any experience with this amp good or bad its in crutchfield

ok well all in all california profile amps BLOW, i had one back in my foolish stereo days, that thing sucked so bad, but it never got too hot most likely cause it didn't do anything, anyway save your money and don't buy crap that is too good to be true, sure it probably hit its 800 watts or whatever for a split nano second in a lab that was -200 degrees, also don't buy stuff from crutchfield unless it is on a super special cause they always rip ya off. i would go w/ the pioneer or the kenwood it really shouldn't take much to push a pair of pioneers, just some words of wisdom

I would go with the Kenwood, in fact that is the exact amp I am planning to buy in a week or two. My piecer little Majestic Amp finally died, which I had been expecting so know I will be able to get some actual punch out of my Kicker 12.

I have to agree, from what I have heard from my brother (who is a stereo nut), the kenwood is the best one in your list.

go with the kenwood!!! you wont be sorry. plus you dont need so many amps!! i have a kenwood 600 watt amp pushing 3 rockford 12's and a friend of mine with the same speakers (who has a 91 xlt) has a crappy brand amp that supposedly puts out 1000 amps and my system BLOWS his away!! go with a kenwood..maybe a 200 or 300 watt.

From the choices I would say the Kenwood or Pioneer, but I would spend a little more and get a rockford phosgate amp. Everything else pales in comparison. They are always on sale at Ultimate Electronics (normally their prices can be a little high, but they have great sales). Also Check with www.mindcrash.net they have the best prices that I can find. Rockford Phosgate really is the best amp on the market. I refuse to use anything else (unless it is free).

If everybody is different, how can anyone be normal?

go with the kenwood but RP is much better than anythink

If i was ya'll i would put a precision power. They are about the strongest amps on the market. I have 2 JL 12's on a precision power 275 watt amp. This means 275 watts and 2 channel, 75 watts per channel. Bridged it pushes 150 watts per channel. My trucks has so much bass. that it makes you sneeze and makes the hair on your heads vibrate. Basically you get what you pay for.
