ok well this is not really about my maxima but a question about amp brands...im looking for something really cheap to just get me by for a while and i was looking at legacy/sony ect.....and they are all from 70-150 dollare ranging from 200-2400w now my question is are they really that bad in terms of how long they last?..im not to worried about the sound but just how long a legacy or pyle amp ect... will last?.....

 

I've got a cheapie Legacy amp running my 6.5'' component set. Had it for a few years no with no problems and it does the job just fine. I think I paid about 80 bucks for it

 

ive got one single pioner 12 inch and that is all i need to power and i did not want something that was going to raddle my car to death

 

i'd stay away from sony stuff. you might want to look into Hifonic amps. they're relatively cheap and will put out a lot of power.
