One thing I'd check is the fuse rating on the unknown one. You can get amps rated high power with like 30A fuses, and you know they'll never reach that for more than a split second (internal caps) if ever ------------- 2009 Pontiac G8 in planning stage

yeah I've checked Better audio's website and I couldn't find the fuse rate on it, but I've been hearing good things about this amp on other forums like carsound and caraudio. However, I tend to follow the words and opinions of people from this forum more than any other car audio forum on the net, that way I posted this question about this company here. I just hope that someone here has had experience with Better Audio and could tell me what they thought about their products.
