It IS up you your ear. Nobody ever said it WASN'T. ...BUT, in my defense, you were specifically asking about getting the most watts for your dollar, NOT "what amps sound the best for my money", and we all were doing nothing to dissuade you from that, we were suggesting that you already HAD the most real-world watts for your dollar. Buying based on inflated numbers, just because it sounds like it's a good dollar is NOT wise, financially. When buying amplifiers, I know that I am very wary about inflated specifications. "If it sounds like too good a deal, it probably ISN'T." It also isn't about getting the most power for you cash, but consider distortion, efficiency, longevity... I would have had the Rockford repaired.

No, I don't hate you at all. I do, however, take small exception to the fact that you respond to me in this manner, when I wasn't doing anything but trying to help,
based on the information provided. Had you told us in the beginning EVERYTHING, including the part about "because I want to", I know that I would have dropped it right there. As a professional (a professional no longer in this specific industry) I feel it is my job to be certain that the customer gets the best that he can for the money he wants to spend, and you had already done that with the RF.

I personally love rockford I had 2 T1 in a ported box on the T10001bd, Rockford RCA's Dual Twisted... But I sold the T1's and got 4 tens for 100$ less (hmm funny sounds like im trying to SAVE money) and I want the Hifonics on them because I like trying new things and not have the same thing as everyone else at shows. |

But if you bought one item, based on no research (and I am not saying that you didn't do any research - I can't speak to that in the case of the T1's) and then had to "throw them away", to buy something else after researching, then you can't be money ahead. Do you understand that this is how I was seeing your situation with the amps? You hadn't informed us that there was somebody buying your broken EXISTING amp for almost the same money as you were going to spend on your new equipment. Knowing this information now, what you did ISN'T as bad a choice.

And no I just work 2 jobs 1. for my bills and (Expensive for NO reason) University of Florida tuition and 2nd for my love for this D**n music. And I dont have the time to go to many car shows so i dont know what the best sounding amps in the world are. And im not even saying you do, because i dont assume your financial status from what I read on your forum. and how could say i have all this money and you want me to have Rockford and thats about the second most expensive company out there. but thanks for correcting the ohm question. |

I understand the multiple jobs... I do. I work sometimes 80 to 100 hours a week between all of the jobs I have... I get paychecks from three regular places and I do my own free-lance PC service and consulting on the side. I don't get weekends to myself. My wife is ready to leave because the house in poor repair, (and generally a mess inside from all of the computers) and I won't fix anything because I am too busy trying to make money to KEEP the house. (I can't win...) My comment was not a comment on your financial status, it was a jab, and now that I have more information regarding the reasoning behind your amp swaps, perhaps it was an unnecessary jab.
Anyway, I've said my piece, and I apologize for the tone of some of my responses.
It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."
