I personally use mtx and fosgate. best buy always has good sells on fosgate stuff. My cousin always buy cheap amps and I have learned that you get what you pay for

try ikesound.com

just make sure that is what you want. It takes a long time to get your money back or exchange. They do return your money, it just takes longer than expected.

So be sure you know what you want first before you order.

i've heard good things about autotek amps being built nicely and offered up for cheap. you can get them from thezeb.com.

however, when i emailed thier customer support line to get dimensions and was greatly discouraged by whoevers lack of simply getting off thier *** and simply getting me info. i asked for the dimensions of 2 models each from thier 3 different lines, so 6 amps total, and all i got back was an email saying:
"please narrow down your selection."

so i bought memphis instead. if i cant even get customer support to measure something for me i sure as hell aint gonna buy anything from them....

but they are cheap.

I have one of these amps. I'm using it to push 250X2 RMS @ 2 ohms to my Orion HCCA 6Sc components. Good amp.
