first what kind of sub do you have??....and SAVE YOUR MONEY those companies try to send out great messages promising young kids saying that their amps can handle 2000watts no problem LIE...the most they can do is prbly like 80... just dont waste your money..save it to buy a 10344930x better amp my honest opinion is a hifonics amp

Profile is the better company out of all them brands.. check out Hifonics, Power Acoustik, MA Audio, and Visonik also for a cheap amp.

well i am really wanting a hifonics 1206, but was thinking about a profile or spl amp just for the time being my sub has just been sitting in the living room waiting to be hooked up

Look on E Bay.

The Hifonics amp is probably only half again as much as you will be spending on some crappy amp. Plus if you buy said crappy amp, you wont be able to sell it for much. SO your spending even MORE money.

Just save up and buy what you really want.

Everyone does this, even me.

I had to save for a few months to buy my McIntosh head unit. Trust me, it was worth it to SAVE.

i know its a matter of opinion but i prefer spl out of those and then profile....i sell them both and spl is actually a power acoustik product and not bad at all....power acoustik is making some kick ass class d amps in their gothic series for this year.....the big dog does 3200 rms at 1 ohm and i sell it for 425......its tough to beat

well i've used a profile amp before, when i first started out and it wasn't too bad.. I got it for pretty cheap, and it served me well.. Never had any problems, but you could def. tell it was an inferior brand. Save up bro and get what ya want

I'm with Terry on this one... SPL and PA are decent enough, especially some of the new big dogs for cheap power... I do a lot of the SPL stuff too and haven't seen a single complaint from anyone that got em.
Terry will hook ya up with a good deal on one
