Anyone had any experience with the new infinity reference amps? I have the jbl bp 600.1 to power my brahma with for right now, thing is going to need to run it at 1ohm. And well i would rather not put so much stress on a daily driver amp. So i was thinking of after i have my whole system bought and in, I would start saving for the 1210a infinity amp. 850W @ 4ohms and 1300w @ 2ohms 500$
1210A

I have not heard much good about infinity amps. Not really up to par to their subs and speakers, or so ive heard. I just got a bp 600.1. Its stable at 1ohm, and you should have no problem running it at that, it wont hurt the amp any.

I have never liked infinity amps. They blow way to easy. I have had very bad experiences with them, as well as many others. Check out some reviews on them at www.carreview.com and www.epinions.com and you'll see what i mean. JBL is a far better amp for the money, and the 600.1 is fantastic ~ highly recommended. ------------- "I don't play games.

FYI, the new line of Infinity "Reference" amps are made in the same factory as is JBL. ------------- Support the12volt.com

Indeed. as they are both CEA rated as well. One is clearly better than the other though, just by ear. SQ is better, as well as SPL. JBL = great performance for little money.

I have really liked there internal speakers and the 4 channel amps, But I have never been a big fan of the subs and sub amps for the money

The JBL Will totally be able to handle it, I would not be worried about that, I have had some great personal experience with that (although, it was a 1200.1)

I agree, the JBL would be a far better choice.

I have not heard anything about infinity amps, but usually JBL amps get some praise. I can't compare my Infinity sub to their amps because they aren't the same type of product. So I'd say JBL it up
