Zapco was my first choice but I just bought rims and an exhaust and I don't feel like waiting to save up cash. I need my sounds! Probably upgrade to the CX series later on down the road.

Phatbuddha. Had the HU installed in my car today. Dude said the install went perfectly.

Due to the fact that we got a foot of snow today, im not going to risk driving my car in it. So i'll get it tomorrow after school around noon.

Let you know how it goes and ask if i have questions!

No lol i compared it to the one i had, and it was gonna leave a big *** gap at the top between it and the little cubby so i just said screw it and ordered the faceplate from grubbs.

Now its perfect. Maybe it was just your nav that made it lower??

I HAD Zapco C2K amps but sold them. Didn't even get to use, but from people that I know who own them, they love them.

I used to have an RF t30001bd and T8004. Big amps, kinda heavy, but very good. They are underrated. The t20001bd (rated at 2k rms) is known to put out 2700w or so. They stay super cool, even in high weather temperatures.

I also had the DLS A6 and A4. I used the A6 and it was good, but not my cup of tea at the moment. If you want clean power, it's a great amp to go with. I was more of a bass head at the time and it didn't work well with my setup because the sub also needed a little more power.

Also used the Kicker ZX 2500.1 and 850.4. I don't recommend them. Not sure if the newer models are different but these amps get EXTREMELY hot, thus, reducing efficiency. They are good with current draw, but power output of the 2500.1 @ 2 ohms vs the RF t30001 @ 2 ohms (2.5k for the Kicker and 2k for the RF), the RF put out more power.

I've used a Treo SSX 1500.1 and I liked it, pretty good amp.

Also used an older BBQ style RF 500a2. Good stuff right there. Only put out 500w but powering a sub that handles 3-4k on music easily, it actually had some good output for the given power.

Currently running a DLS A6 and JL 450/4, love them both. Previously ran some Elemental Design amps, definately a great bang for the buck and would recommend them to any entry or moderate entry system. Inbetween the two would be Memphis, great for bassheads and music lovers, all around great amps and decently priced online.
