December 17, 200816 yr absolutely, i have two amps refurbished by chris, they come with a warranty (the sundowns for a whole year!), you also cannot beat the customer service and pricing he provides. many others on this forum will vouch for that. that amp was designed by stephen mantz too, i have a 2x100w us acoustics amp he designed and it is a tank!

December 18, 200816 yr this is a good amp....power acoustik A1800dbAnd a good price Thank you.sure thing i have a splz1x 3000d and i love it they have the same board as the power acoustik A series amps i think they are a good bang for the buck amps.

December 19, 200816 yr WOW, i had 2 15" alpine type R's and a Hifonics BXI2008DRan like a beast, powerd them nicely.... never over heated...i loved it....go with hifonics, but know that even though 1208d is rated at 1200, its probably ~900-1100

December 20, 200816 yr Author They are over-ratedWord. What would you recommend?EDIT:1. Power Acoustik2. HifonicsConvince me. Edited December 20, 200816 yr by Dutchie.
December 20, 200816 yr They are over-ratedWord. What would you recommend?EDIT:1. Power Acoustik2. HifonicsConvince me. power acoustik a1800 and up for good power at a low price.
December 20, 200816 yr if you can bump up the price a bit, you can get power acoustik a3000db for 300
December 20, 200816 yr Hifonics... cheap power,free Bass knob!!!!!!!and it has LEDsNot a reason I would buy a amp........Just my opinionof your options listed in this thread I would choose the Lanzar opti. I had one for years and abused the hell out of it and not one problem. just my 2 cents
December 20, 200816 yr Lanzar is pretty good. but if he is going to pay 300, might as well go with Sundown IMO.
December 21, 200816 yr Author Lanzar is pretty good. but if he is going to pay 300, might as well go with Sundown IMO.Not paying 300, thats for sure, and so far many people like the lanzar. So that one now. lol.
