of those 2....I'd go with the bazooka. Sony still hasn't gotten the car audio thing right. But how much money are you wanting to spend?

Thanks for the response The ELA500.1 is on sale for $207 + tax. The Sony is on sale for $135 + tax. I would like to save as much money as possible, but If there will be a better quality of sound and reliability, I'll go ahead and pay the difference.

i picked up an ELA500 on ebay for about $100 bucks shipped to my house. not a bad deal and works well if you don't mind using refurbs.

I've bought a few amps off Ebay, and they all still work.... posted_image

Thanks for the responses. I got the Bazooka amp. It does a good job. The only thing I'm a bit worried about is overheating. It's too cold outside now to be able to tell.

Throw a few fans to cool it off. incase it and make a push pull for the fans you can move like 27 CF per min with 2 low key fans.
