well, you could try to get the same one to replace it....or i would suggest a pioneer, kenwood, or even sony...just a nice small one, shouldn't cost too much either, the wiring might get you though.

I personally would stay away from Profile. Its one of the cheapest amps on the market. But if your on a budget ... it would be the best amp for you. I had a bad experience with them.

I carry Lightning Audio amps. If you want to go that route I might be able to save you some cash. Its up to you. The other amps mentioned are good amps don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to steer you away from them. Give me a price of the Lightning Amp and I might be able to beat it. As well as offer the accesery that come with it (cooling turbine fan).

Hope this helps.

i love the look of the kicker, just a sweet lookin amp. the x plode amp would go with your car tho, i know this isn't a reason for picking an amp, but it has something to do with it. the bottom x plode is one **** of an amp for the money, i woud personally go for that one.

edit:: this is like the 5th post i have had to edit tonight, i need a vacation. anyways, make sure you check ebay, i spend over a grand month on there usually, cheap ass shit thats usually very expensive.

I don't know about Crossfire, I can tell you though that the Alpine 120x4 is in peak power and those ratings mean nothing. You need rms power. MTX is always a safe bet. Check out Crutchfield. They have the Thunder 4244 which is a dependable 45x4 for $280. They also have the more upscale Thunder 6304 which is rated at 37.5x4, has more features and is $400. If I were in your shoes, these would be my choices. Try and call Crutchfield or go to www.crutchfield.com

 

[NJshofear]

I didnt realize that it was the peak, im getting a Alpine (cleaner sound) f307. I can get it locally for 309 so im gonna go with it instead of the MTX
