hey guys,

looking at buying a new amp, either a jl audio 75x4 or an alpine 50x4, what one would you guys recommend/ the model number on the jl is the 4300 i dont remember what it was for the alpine. the other option is a phoenix gold 75x4 i belive the model number was 504 on that one. these are the only 3 i have available locally.

it will be powering phoenix gold 5.25 tantrum and 6x9 alpine type r in the rear.

any advice greatly appreciated

Those are all good amps, all about the same quality.  I recomend you choose the one with the best price.

the alpine is the best price at 299, 329 for the phoenix gold and 359 for the jl audio

canadian tire has a pionner 35x4 for 199, a lot cheaper then the others, would it be any good? I dont even have any subs, just wnat to boost the sound a bit. i may add a sub someday.

What are the model numbers?  You really need that for a head to head comparison of these amps.  They are all good manufactures.

If you are going to be adding a sub one day, get the slightly larger amp to power the speakers.

no, don't even think of power acoustik. I would recommend the alpine amp, as i have worked with them in the past and they sound great. Just get good connections to them. (4-8) guage wire. Probably 8 will be plenty. amp advice -- posted image.
