[QUOTE="DRBOOM, post: 8671013, member: 676005"] Agree, keep away from Hifonics , MB Quart (new models) as they are made by MAXONICS...which took over such good brands which dished out quality products a few decades ago. I am note sure if the new Precision Power is any good as all as the company also makes the new Soundstream gear. I would also recommend looking at Phoenix Gold products. I have a Phoenix Gold RX1100.1 amp and it runs pretty well. With Pioneer, you cant go wrong as they have been selling stuff since the 1930's and although their gear changes over time to reflect the current market trend, they don't tend to print '00000' watts on their amp as they are pretty much what they claim to churn out. I think in most cases, for everyday driving a 200rms system with a 4 channel amp running components up front and a single subwoofer bridged on the rear channels would keep most road users happy and not destroy your ear drums as well. Also keep your eye open of some second hand amps as they will outlast the newer products. I have a Precision Power PC450 running my speakers and they still are sounding sweet in 2019. and I think they were released in the early 1990's. Old Kenwoods are also a good gear that was quality built, not sure about the newer items though. The old Rockford Fosgate amps were bullet proof performers as well, even the entry level ' series 1' models. Old Eclipse amps are also solid performers. Pic of EA3422 4 channel amp attached. PPI 2600 is a 2 channel amp but they are very good built and with good features.
