I have heard MA Audio makes good amps at a reasonable price. Are they reliable and how true are their watts ratings? |

I am not sure about other models but the one I find worth buying is HK597. It is a 4 channel amp that's 200W rms at 4 ohms, 400W rms at 2 ohms per channel.
I am currently using MA Audio's 18" sub. It is wicked. |

Hey Joseph if you can find an amp that's better for the buck compared to MA Audio's HK597 model, I'd surely like to know. |

well i can get the kicker kx850 for about $230 and the rockford fosgate 850 for about $220. I have just had alot of experiece with the chrome amps in my day lol. They just dont perform as good as products that the pros or semi pros use. |

Hey Joseph, that kicker amp is a nice one but only one problem. It's a 2 channel amp. The MA Audio was 4 channel at 400W rms x 4 at 2 ohms. If you could get that for $230, it's a great deal. Some are charging $600!
I wouldn't try any other MA model except HK597. |

Hey Ivan, higher rms wattage means the amp can put out more power. |
