If you had no choice but to get either a Sony amplifier or a Power Acoustik amplifier rated at the same power which brand would you go with??

i'd get a power acoustik over a sony anyday....i mean really they are overrated, but i've heard like the 'gotham' series ones hooked up and they put out a nice realtive amount of power for being one of the cheaper brands on the market...never heard a sony hooked up but from this board...it can't be too great..

I owned a D1000P5 a few years back made by Sony. And it put out it's rated power and never got hot. The amp was quality. So I'd go for the Sony.

"what about lanzar? Where would it fit in better or worse or more overrated?"

Lanzar's cheap stuff is good on a budget IMO - it's just that you really have to know what you're getting when it comes to cost vs. power because the pwr ratings on the non-Optidrive stuff has gone to hell over the past couple years.

I hate to say it, but simply because of the ridiculous ratings I'd probably have to recommend a Power Acoustik OR a Sony before a Lanzar Vibe/Viberant/Heritage

FWIW - I've owned more than one lanzar Vibe, one Power Acoustik Gothic, and currently own 2 Lanzar Optidrives.

If you're on a tight budget, why not give Hifonics or Audiobahn a try?
I've used and tested Jensen in the past, and it wasn't a bad amp. I still have it. Somehow, it never died on me. It was overloaded, over driven, in cold weather, humid summer days, and still working.
Not bad for the cheap price I paid. I wouldn't recommend them though, unless it's the model I have.

my bro has 3 power acoustik amps running daily about 6yrs now - OVERrated in actual power YES but 2 me they r durable cause they never broke down on him as yet .

But like Isaac said - y not try Hifonics which is better than both & close 2 the same price & i also suggest MB Quart amps which i own 1 of them

i owned both sony and power acoustic earlier. According to me power acoustic was a lot better. Never had any problem with it. Still in running condition. Sony gave me lot of trouble..Now replaced power acoustic with orion..
