I am in a toss-up between getting a Kenwood amp or a Kicker amp. Which one is better? Help me choose.

 

Kicker is definately the better of the two, but Kenwood makes a decent amp for the money. IMO you are trying to choose between top of the line and middle of the road. Hope that analogie helps a little.

 

Thanks for the input. The amp is going to be used for bass. Does it make a difference if I use the lesser quality Kenwood or the top of the line kicker amp for bass? Would'nt the sound(Thump) be the same if I used either of the two? Or is their a difference?

 

Does anybody know?

 

i myself like ppi but if its betwen the two go with kicker

 

I, too, like PPI ( Precision Power Industries). They make a high end amp, one of the absolute best out there regarding quality. I have a PPI PCX 5800, a 5 channel amp that run 4 door speakers
(Boston RX87 5x7's) and a single Boston Pro series 10.5LF sub.

I am happy with the amp's quality and the Sub, but not the Boston RX87's 5X7's. The high end has a little distortion on high notes that is even more detectable with the PPI amp. The only problem with the PPI amp is the price...If I had to choose between the Kicker and teh Kenwood, I'd choose the Kicker, too.

I have friends that have used both, and a majority of the Kicher users were completely satisfied. On the other hand, Kenwood is not bad.

Good luck.

 

I went with Phoenix Gold Tantrum series. I'd say they are in the same category as the Kicker amps...?

I'm very pleased with them.

 

what are the prices of those? Did you look at Memphis?
