Legacy is Pyramid...... which is available at your local pawn shop.... (rockford almost got that way) The Rockford will be a much better amp as far as your THD and efficiency. The Rockford will also be a better amp for reliability and longevity as well as holding a higher re-sale value than the legacy. Always remember to check RMS power output when looking at wattage. Wattage is not always everything. Most cheap amplifiers put the peak power in humongous print on the box and in magazine ads, but dont be misled. You can paint a Yugo, put 20's on it, lower it, and dip all the chrome in gold, but.... IT'S STILL A YUGO!!!!! posted_image

(in other words.... stay with the Rockford!!)
