They're one of the worst brands. Save your money.

Do you have a sugestion for a inexpensive amp with 800watts?

JBL 600.1 would work. I use one, great amp for the money. You can probably pick one up for around $150-$200. There's lots-o-amps out there that would work well for you. I personally would stick with a mono class D amp (sub amp) being they have a low voltage consumption and are usually stable down to atleast 2ohms, giving you more wiring flexibilty.

If the max on the sub's are 800watts what is better? to get an amp less then 800watts or one that is 800watts?

another amp thats good is the hifonics bx1000. Its around 230$ and its rated at 1000 RMS.

I would rather buy an amp that puts out a lil more power than what ur looking for than something under because you can always turn the amp down

first of all u need to keep everything in 1 thread and not post 3 different ones asking the same question. Second id say go with 400-600 RMS amp. If ur on a budget look into JBL or hifonics, they make great amps for the money
