Of these 3 amp makers, which do you all think is the best? At the moment I am leaning towards getting Memphis, but I am willing to listen to what you all say and base my buying decision off of that.

They are American made, if that makes any difference. My car audio guy told me that they're more powerful for the price than their foreign counterparts, but I'm not sure how true that is.

All of these amps are American made. Personally, I'd prefer Zapco and Symbilink cables leading to it, you're not going to get a cleaner signal than a balanced 16V line. US Amps tube amp would be my next choice for components, their Class D amps and AB amps are fantastic as well. Just personal preference, though.

Ive used memphis before and they are very powerful amps. So I would choose memphis based on my past experience.

i was thinking about using memphis's new power reference 500 watt class d amp for my sub. Their website says that it is 70% percent efficient, they advertise that pretty bold. I dont know it that is a really good percent or not, if not that i would use a different amp. I dont want to get a new alt. As far as components, i dont really want to spend 600 dollars for a tube amp for them, i might change my mind though. I am also prob going to get an Eclipse CD8454 HU so that would help out with system noise and distortion. If the 500 watt amp isnt good, what is another good option. Also, what is the price on one. I cant find the price anywhere.

i would go with memphis, since i have experience with them, but all 3 are solid amps, just depened what you wanna use them for, if you want the mother of all amps get the memphis belle amp, it has a four channel amp with a 1000d built in, i currently have one of them pushing a RE x.x.x. and cdt components, all i paid was 800 for the amp, with a 4 chan. and mono built in, it's a hell of a deal
