never heard of Profile. are they any good?
its a 2way amp. 480w x2 at 2 ohms
i am looking to wire it to 2 Alpine 10" Type-R's
http://www.crutchfield.com/S-XhKTgmV9JA1/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?wm=fp&I=500SWR1242
the subs are dual 4ohm voice coils. i (think) i was told that i can run those at 2ohm's if i have a 2way amp.
(i asked this question in the subwoofer forum)
all this stuff is confusing to me. i just dont want to take any chances.
thanks |

Profile was junk back in the day. Haven't had any experience with them in years, but I've read they're still the same low-quality products. I owned a Cali. Series A600 and it was a complete joke. They claimed 300X2 at 2 ohms. I'd say it was lucky to push 200w, period. It did have that "cool" light strip, though. LMAO. |

on most forums Profile is often recommended as one of the best budget amps you can get.
No, they're no kicer, or orion, or RF, but for the cost you can't do a lot better.
Run a search at Sounddomain or caraudio.com - there are MANY reviews, some with pix, and very few users have been disappointed. |

I hope their quality has improved dramatically over the years. If not, then those people at the other forums are liars or they are just plain fools. My A600 was complete junk.....right there with the Pyramid trash. |
