i like the way mcintosh amps look.....it will go good with the interior im chosing

couple quick questions. most people dont drop that kind of money on an amp because of the way it looks. is this your money, or do you have really rich parents? and second, whats the best equiptment you have personally heard?

i like the way mcintosh amps look.....it will go good with the interior im chosing

But you find out how much they are....I don't think it would be worth it just so it matches the interior.

Look into the other amps listed. And also with that much power you're looking at upgrading your Electrical system too....and thats $$$ also

thanks for the link, that is a very nice amp there, quite expensive... As far as the McIntosh goes, i agree get the HU as well if you are doing this. I would have to guess that you are putting this all in a Jeep Grand Cheerokee? Umm well, Its wierd that you would want to use a McIntosh Amp to get a lot of "Bump" McIntosh are not known for how insanely loud they get with Massive Bass, they are known for their extremely accurate sound quality... I would advise you to get somethign that is going to fit your image. If you are looking for a stereo system with the best possible sound by all means go with McIntosh or Focal... But if u are looking to just play songs with lots of Bass and you wanna feel it in your chest all the time, listen to the other guys and go with the Elevation Audio 15" Execution or 2 of those and that IA Amp 20.1 you will be more than satisfied with the amount of Bass involved

Personally if U have this much money to throw around u should do this right and have #1 a professional install everything... #2 Upgrade the big 3... #4 dont buy audio equipment that is going to "match" the interior of your car... The only reason i am pressing this is that McIntosh makes everythign absolutely beautiful, but if you are just looking to have something match your interior of your car ur in this for the wrong thing.

oops i cant count lol skipped step 3

see i read the good ugly and bad list, and researched everything on there and mcintosh just seems to have the biggest 'fan club' if you will, and this is my money and a pro is going to do the install, just that i wanna research this thing before i let someone try to get over on me, the install is going into a 97 jeep wrangler

well it IS your money, so u can do what you want with it, but just a little word of warning... If you get that, dont go advertising it, because it will get stolen quickly, especially if its a soft top.

and im into loud music,yes but im even more into sound quality

i think what most of us here are saying is that you can get way more for your money and be loud and still have great sq without breaking the bank... I mean i havnt checked the Prices on a McIntosh amp lately but im sure that most of them are over $1,000. I just think that for your install u would want some loud bass with good quality sound as well... Also you should think of upgrading your stock speakers in the car as well if you want great sq. Just some thoughts.
