Does it matter what amp I get, i kinda wanna go cheap how bout the stuff they sell at pepboys and autozone the Rampage amps, or the audiovox ones. Are they good? I dont have any subs but i would like to make my 6x9s and 6 1/2s sounnd better.

 

uh, how about you go ahead and buy a new car while your at it, those old geo's storms are nice and cheap.........If you're not going to get quality stuff, don't spend the money at all.

 

get a new deck, the diffrence between a factory HU and an aftermarket is night and day

 

Yes, brand name amps DO matter. As a matter of fact, brand names matter in anything you buy. Brand names are more expensive and you always get what you pay for. LIke stated above, if you're gonna shop at pep boys for parts, dont buy the parts at all. For audio equipment, i recommend brand names such as: Alpine, JL Audio, Clarion, Rockford Fosgate, Kicker, Infinity, etc.

 

I`ve had a Pioneer DEH 4300 a Aiwa CDC Mp3 and pioneer 4 way 6x9s and Fusion 2 way 6 1/2s i just want better (decent) sound than what i get with the internal. An amps an amp right?

 

hello.... mcfly.... listen to F23A4_AcCoRdude. your sound will only be as good as your components. first of all audiovox is wack! sorry to anyone i offended but you know it's true. the same with rampage and prestige... and boss as a matter of fact... all of them are wack... you're better off stock.

 

dood, save some coin and get a real amp

you can get a decent 4 channel pioneer amp for 150, mine is 75Wx4. . .

 

get a US acoustics amp for cheaper. www.thezeb.com

 

brand names do matter. The fuse on the back can tell you a lot about what the amp will really put out to what it says it puts out. Some companies can say the amp puts out 3000 watts when its really pushing 500 (no joke). It matters with the volts (12-14) and the amps from the fuse. So trust me, go to an audio shop and talk to an employee and look around, you always get what you pay for unless you get it for free.

 

If the above was true, car stereo shops wouldn't have sound boards and none of us would audition equipment, we would just compare price tags.....

Just because something is more expensive...it doesn't make it better.

Also, don't limit yourself to just brands that you have heard of. There are many obscure brands out there that will outperform many of the "well known" brand names for about the same price.

Shop with your ears, not your wallet or your eyes.
