( use one for 250x 2 for the subs, another for 62.5 x 4 for components) to replace my old amps im just basically asking your opinion on the quality of this amp, and how good of a deal this is. also considering alpine but this sounds like a good deal as it is... thanks My contour page

It would be a lot better to have two 2-channel amps and or just one 2 -channel amp on the fronts. If you are not extrememly picky about sound q, go with the 4 channel, they are very practicle 99 Tropic green svt Custom Stereo borla cat-back 22mm bat rear sway bar custom K&N & heatshield 215/40/ZR17 Rubber jimmkreider@yahoo.com
