And it is almost impossible to hear a difference in sound of an amp or cd player in a store when the signals are run through a switching device. Speakers in a display board you will hear a difference from regardless of a switcher is used or not.

I agree with what you are saying, there is a lot of really good equipment on the market today, I did not mean that you should head into a shop and start hooking things up, I would pound the first guy that tried doing that in my stores. I meant that if the equipment is hooked up in a board that uses an electronic switcher it is virtually impossible to hear a difference in sq between cd player and amps. Maybe I should try this at my competition and wire their display board out of phase, wait a minute, it already is....

yeah, save up to get a good amp!!!. Do it right the first time!!!. Your saying Alpine is so much better then JL Audio amps?????????????. That's INSANE!!. Not true at all!!. Alpine's are good.. but they are in NO league with JL's. When it comes to electronics.. you get what you pay for. If you want high quality sound, go with JL. If you don't really care.. then go with Alpine. If you just want a piece of equipment that will last less then a year, then go with Sony. Don't go by how it sounds in a shop, you won't hear much difference from a JL amp, from a Alpine. But in a actual car, you would.

Always the rule of thumb.. you get what you pay for.

I've been doing a little research on a good four channel amp with a clean signal and power to push it. I was going towards the older a/d/s, but then that was just a little to old. I'm starting to lean towards the eclipse amps. The PA5422 is pretty sweet. Its has a max power outtage of 800watts. 85x4 rms, THD 0.004 in 4ohms. I saw this amp on ebay for $178.00 brand new.

If its brand new, a quality item and you can get for hundreds less why not? As long as they have a good record. There,s usually a warrenty but not as extented as if you have it professionaly installed.

you do have to watch out for scams, but I the seller with good rating and that has sold a couple thousand items is probably legit. And why stay away if you can get a quality item brand new and for hundreds less? I'm not sure through ebay, but usually theres a warrenty , just not as long as if it were professionally installed.
