Bronze Member Username: SoccerPost Number: 24 Registered: Apr-04 | A velocity would also be nice, but expensive... |

Gold Member Username: GlasswolfNorthWest, Michigan USA Post Number: 2340 Registered: Dec-03 | I wouldn't waste time with anything from blaupunkt myself. what are you looking for in an amp? what sort of power? how many channels? what will the amp(s) be driving? |
|
Bronze Member Username: SoccerPost Number: 25 Registered: Apr-04 | Well, since I'll still have 2 available channels in my alpine, i'm thinking of a 3-channel amp around 200W each ch. with loads of current to drive the Proaudio speakers, and a sound quality similar to my alpine... TIA |
|
Bronze Member Username: SoccerPost Number: 26 Registered: Apr-04 | Oh, and the 3rd channel would drive a sub, something like a 12" Pioneer... TIA |
|
Bronze Member Username: SoccerPost Number: 27 Registered: Apr-04 | Which I think would all come down to a high power class T amp, wouldn't you say so? I mean, I'm trying to avoid class D amps... TIA |
|
Bronze Member Username: SoccerPost Number: 28 Registered: Apr-04 | And a new alternator, of course, around 25oo-250 amps... TIA |

Especially if you choose to match them to their SymbiLink components for signal processing and equalization. my next system will use 2 C2K amplifers and their pre-amp/EQ. |
