    Hi all i am building my system up gathering things together.
    im leaning towards lanzar what is a good series of lanzar 4ch amps. in the 60 to 75 watts RMS range.

    or what would you recommend for under $200?

    make and model would be nice.

    HERE ARE A FEW BRANDS THAT CAUGHT MY ATTENTION

    LANZAR
    KICKER
    KENWOOD
    HIFONICS
    ALPINE
    ROCKFORD FOSGATE(I USE TO LOVE THE OLD ONES)

    AND ALSO I WOULD LIKE TO MOUNT THIS TO THE BACK SEAT OF MY 04 PRIX (IS THE BACK OF THE REAR SEAT METAL)SO I CAN SCREW THE AMP TO.

    THANKK YOU ALL.

    SAX-50.4 if you can find one.

    For the most part an amp is an amp these days. Build quality will only net you "longevity". There's definitely brands you probably want to stay away from though. Just post what you are comfortable with and we'll give you ideas.

    About the only Lanzar amp to recommend would be an old school Opti drive if you can find one. they used to be built in the USA from my understanding. what kind of speakers are you going to use with this new amp.
    Sundown is a very good choice. I went with Jacob(the owner) for my subwoofers. He is a very stand up guy that has a good head on his shoulders. I purchased a Sundown Audio V series 12" subwoofer from him. The first one he made had a dimple on the cone that I sent him and he purchased a new cone and remade the the subwoofer and sent it to me. He kept in touch with me even afterhours of his shop. To get ahold of him directly you can email him at sundownz@sundownaudio.com
    You can probably find a used one for cheap over at caraudio.com in the classifieds section. He frequents that website just about everyday. His sn is sundownz.
    Sorry I got off track...would you consider used or are you wanting new?

    sundown is overpriced for what they sell really.

    But most car audio is.

    So, you are running focal speakers and want to buy a lanzar amp? humm... Even an alpine MRP-F300 would be a way better choice, for the price of them, I really can't complain about them.

    The link below is for an Audioque 4channel amp. Its a lil bit more then what your wanting to spend($229 shipped). But I wouldnt skip on a cheap amp like Lanzar if your putting in Focals. This company is owned by the brother of Digital Designs. There are very good reviews on his subs and amps. His stuff is half the price of Digital Designs. I will be purchasing his AQ90X4 for my fronts and the AQ2200D for my subwoofer.

    I'd recommend the AQ's for the price. I've heard tons of good reviews on their amps. If I had the cash I would have gone with them instead of Audiopipe, but hey, not everyone's a rich mo-fo.

    I wouldnt down your Audiopipe setup too much. There are some good reviews on their amps. Their AP1500 and AP3000 watt mono amps have some good reviews for budget amps. I have emailed the company for prices and dealers but unfortunatly I havent ever gotten a reply back from them. Havent heard too much about the Crescendo speakers you have except they are an up and comming company thats expected to do good things.
