Me and a friend were looking at amps and he came accross the "Power Acoustik "Plasma Sphere" 2-Channel Amplifier 620 Watts Max" and says it would make my system bump alot better than my p.o.s. pyramid. I plan on running 2 memphis PR 12's off of it.

How well do you guys think that amp would work with these subs?



ALSO one last thing..He is running 2 Lanzar MAXP124D's.
they are rated at 800Wrms and 1600 max.
But are only $40 on some sites?
Is Lanzar that bad of Quality?
Someone let me know....

How much is the amp. Because to be honest now days on the net you can get some really good amps for low prices. As far as the subs gotta wonder when they are 40 dollars and are rated that high.

Most places have the amp at $80-$100

just a quick reminder on electronics you get what you pay for. Now I like to shop around and get the best possible price but amp wise I would not go with power acoustic.

thank you..
any more opinions?

one of my friends, who works at a car audio shop said P.A. was a good amp company..

I would in your case find a better amp....

Have you checked out our "List" the good bad a ugly, that no one seems to like...well I live my life by it :)

i have had a power acoustik amp in my wifes car running bridged at 4 ohms for 8 years and have not had one problem. Its been in four diff cars and i dont have one complaint

what amp would you suggest to run my memphis 12's?
looking for between $100-$190 total..

You might be able to snag a Kicker KX600.1 off ebay for that...I would suggest that as a bang for the buck amp. Post a WTB:AMP, in our f/s section.
I'm sure one here can hook you up.
