None of those amps are good. Kenwood sucks and Pioneer are so-so.


And if you're powering a sub get a class D amp not a 2 channel amp.

Nope



Since your limited to specific brands, look for a mono Pioneer amp.

sony = cheap...get the pioneer sub. i have 2 of the older models and they sound good. if you get the dual4ohm model then get a mono amp that puts out about 300-500rms in 2 ohms

Kenwood's quality is complete crap, they fail within 1 year or so of use usually

Most availible brands here are JBL,kenwood,pioneer,alpine,sony,blaupunkt(the GTA series) but alpine and JBl are above 200$ so my only choice is pioneer or kenwood for the money and the power.i can get JBL or Alpine but they wont be very powerful beacuse of the money i have

OK, I need this opinion from you guys.What would you buy, a quality amp and sub but not very powerful (around 150-200rms) or something like kenwood and the others cheap amps and subs but powerful(300-500rms)?because this is my current situation and honetsly I dont know what to do.will the quality ones be better then the others(the cheaper)?

If you buy a low quality amp there's a good chance it will blow within a year or so of use, then you'll be paying more to replace it than if you bought something good to begin with.

So buy something good. I would recommend saving more money until you can get something with decent power though.

Yeah you are right I will wait one or two months and buy something more powerful from JBL or Alpine but what can you tell me about the sound quality of the JBL subs and are they worth the money?

JBL subs are good. The only ones I've actually heard are the GTIs and they sounded very good.
