nelson u need 2relax buddy, thats the point this isnt a car audio forum, people on here dont compete. While i do agree there is better amps out there, to get something with similar output from genesis or audison or zapco is going to cost alot more than a rockford or ppi. Ive tried alot of class d amps, i used to have a genesis, and i still think the rockford power .bd range are great amps for the power and price.

Point taken. i will stay out of this thread.

Tell you this much, i would never have you around my car. you're MECP certified and you going with the SWS sub upgrade

, come on. look at all the issues you guys having with that upgrade, stop going for the cheapest route. At least get a decent 12" sub in there.
Thank god you didnt say you used to compete

.i guess you can get away saying RF and PPI make some of the best amps on this board because we dont have that many car audio enthusiast, i dare you to say that in a car audio forum. Back in the day RF used to make decent equipment. now all they make is junk. their asking prices for some of their amps is ridiculous.

I will chime in on this. As the SWS might be a cheaper route, definitely not the cheapest...people are not going this route for the money, but rather the OEM look and feel. The SWS's actually hit and sound pretty darn good aside from an obvious maunfactoring flaw with the cone. Yeah we could put a 12 inch sub in the trunk but how do you think that looks when you are taking a client out to play golf and you open a trunk to see a huge sub ! just bad BS in my opinion...thats high school stuff

Sorry my man...I choose the SWS route because I am not going to stick a large woofer box in my trunk like I was in high school. I want to use all the factory locations, so I could to keep my system not only factory, but stealthy. In addition, I am not trying to do a real custom system in my car, I just wanted to add some low end bass, so dont question what the hell I am doing. If I was trying to build some sort of premier system, believe me all that HK crap would get tossed.

Again no offense to you, but I just dont appreciate you calling me out, if you didnt like my opinion on amps, Im cool with that, but you dont have to talk crap. I dont know what your driving but I drive a mid-level european performance sedan, and I am a business man nowadays. So the days of beating down the block with a mini truck or import car full of woofers are gone. I'll leave that to guys like you who, surf car audio forums!
