I guess my top 4 picks(present lines) would be Zapco, Arc Audio, JL Audio, and Xtant, probably in about that order. There's probably a few, more esoteric brands out there that might be "better" and others I'm forgetting, but those are 4 fairly well respected manufacturers known for excellent sound and build quality.

When you get that high in the food chain there's not a whole helluva lot a difference although most would argue that the A/B amps(Zapco and Arc Audio's top of the line stuff) would sound sweeter, but SQ can be pretty subjective. A/B amps aren't as efficient as class D's and require more power to produce the same output however so take your alternator into consideration before purchase.

Try looking at Orion HCCA 275G4, PPI's 1200.2 Art series amp. 2 of the best amps ever made in the past.
They're both over 1000w rms (true power) and they sell for less than current RF/Kicker amps. |
