None of those still. Look for kicker,JBL,MTX, Rockford, those would be a lot better then any of the stuff you listed.

ok guys could one of you please enlighten me then? Instead of just saying that those wont work could you let me know why? I mean the pyle one is 3600w rms. Are you saying that wont power it, or are you saying you dont like that brand? 3600w should be more than enough so what is bad about it. I personally would like to go with the power acoustiq one if I were to pick one of those because I know the brand a little better than pyle. But please let me know what im missing here.

what we are sayin is those ratings are way way more than the amp will actually do! its a lie its a marketing ploy! its probably rated in therory at like 25-30v when your car only does about 14. and matt i think you would be really suprised by that power accoustic amp. its a really nice amp for that price... there other stuff isnt horrible either i dont know y they get a bad rap there stuff is ok for the price. for instance the 4000 watt rms amps i use in competition that produce what there rated for cost 2500 dollars per amp. and i know for a fact they put that out because i have measured it myself.

Like Bill said, they are way over rated. I haven't had experience with PA, so maybe they are good. Check out FAQ fourm for the good bad ugly list, and choose your amp from that.
