Best Amp for 300 Dollars? 500/1 Overrated?
|
James Palanza Unregistered guest | Alright, I have 300$ to spend on an amp. I *think* I can get a jl 500/1 for 300 at a dealer around here. Reguardless, is the 500/1 ALL that, or is it way overated? I'm thinking of powering a 13 inch w6v2. Opinions? |

James Palanza Unregistered guest | Well, looks like I'm stuck looking at 440 for it. Is a 500/1 really worth that much, or should I buy something else for 300. Or should I just save up longer and get it? |

James Palanza Unregistered guest | Well, I'm not a superaudiopile who can tell minior differences in things.. I'm mostly looking for SPL, of course not to the point where it sounds shitty. |

Anonymous | You found a generous JL dealer at $440 for that amp. I played four JL dealers against each other for a $1,500 package to get that same amp for $459. |

|
James Palanza Unregistered guest | Well, I've decided that JL is just way out of my price range. So what can I get that doesnt sound like total crap, but has good deep vibrating bass? Between 200-300 bucks. |
