Those Cadence amps did look super clean to me, not real familiar with them, but worth a hard look. Not sure which series of them would be right for my setup. Any tips? I have seen the Diamond amps and they do look good, nice to hear positive things about them on the performance side too. "Snickers and Kleenex Gold", now thats funny right there, I don't care who you are. Keep it rollin, the more the marrier.

You cannot beat Cadence's ZRS series, they are fantastic and clean. They are underrated amps by wattage, and really produce when you turn that knob on your source unit. I highly recommend them. The Q series is really good to for mids/highs that are powered with around 45-75 WRMS. Seriously, you will not regret it. What exactly do you want to run?

That tarantula is hot looking man, but still i prefer the cadence when it comes to best looking and best performing.

just got done checkin out all the amps. The Tarantula is a tight amp, just not my style, too chromy for me. Looked at the cadence too, real nice. I don't think I want someone calling my setup "pretty" either. It'll be super clean and breath taking hopefully. I have a friend that I show with and he's redoing his car as well, friendly rivalry betwen us to see what each others turns out like. He's going all Arc is what I know. I'll keep lookin and thinkin...

Let us know what you chose, but the cadence is the way to roll brother. You'll make your friend's arc look like nothing if you do it right and go cadence! I like arc audio, but when compared to the clarity and the true power of cadence, cadence pulls out the trump card on the bauer (for all you euchre fans)

Sinistar,

Hey nice nickname. I think you should go with the diamond amps. And don't forget to tip your expert car stereo salesperson for the amazing system advice... Oh wait, that's me... :)

Vinspo,

Good advice. I swear I'm coming by for breakfast one of these days.

You know that you can't go wrong with U.S. Amps for looks, power, sq, it's got it all. And then some. Made in the U.S.A. in the Sunshine State.
