Ok so im for sure going to be getting either a Zapco DC1100.1 or a JL1000V2.Which one would you say is the better buy and im also looking for some good components. So any suggestions would be much appreciated.

The better BUY is the JL. The better AMP is the Zapco.

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."

Hey Dave, what reasons to you have for that conclusion? I don't have any experience with the Zapco beyond their incredible reputation so I'm curious about your thoughts. I do however really like the 1000/1 as it is a very feature rich amp.

That Zapco has a built in, on board full function DSP. The Zapco has quite a few more features, including being able to tune it with a computer. But I do believe that you cannot adjust the most basic features w/o a computer or laptop, such as the gain. Kind of a trade off.

If I had the money, I would give Zapco a go.

Thats the beauty of the digital ref. line. The consumer CANNOT fudge up the adjustments you have made.

The laptop is needed for ALL adjustments..... CooL and safe.
