Time to Amp Up: The Top 5 Amplifiers for Your Bangin’ Car Stereo
How to Find the Best Car Audio Installation Near You in San Diego
Car Stereo City San Diego is renowned for offering professional car audio installation for popular aftermarket products such as car speakers and car stereos. Unlike other car audio shops, we take the time to get to know your audio preferences so that we can get your vehicle’s arrangement as close to your listening preferences as possible. That could mean installing a complex set-up of component speakers, adding in a kicking subwoofer, or upgrading you to a modern car stereo.
Whatever the case may be, our team does everything in their power to ensure that your vehicle leaves looking good and sounding good. In most cases, car stereo installation is the first step towards any high-quality audio arrangement. After all, the car stereo is where the source of your audio signal is coming from, so it only makes sense that you get this installed first.
But what about after that?
Your next step in audio upgrades comes down to what you want to get out of your system. For some, that's a lot of bass via a subwoofer. Or perhaps you want to get some tweeters installed so you can really hit those high frequencies. Or maybe you simply want to get more power out of your existing system.
That brings us to the topic of amplifiers. There are plenty of amplifiers to choose from that come in a wide range of prices. Some amps cost well over $1,000, but don't think for a second that you have to pay out the nose in order to get a good amp.
The following are top five amplifier choices that you can get for $500 or less.
JL Audio JD250/1 (estimated retail $299.99)
This JL Audio amp has done well for many customers because it provides excellent performance at an incredibly reasonable price point. The JD250/1 pumps 250 watts RMS to your external sub, which means you’ll clearly hear your bass over the sound of your engine and any road noise. Additionally, the JL Audio amp is versatile in that it can work with virtually any system you want to pair with it.
Sound Ordnance M350-1 (estimated retail $139.99)
Don't think that just because the Sound Ordnance amplifier is the least expensive on our list that it would somehow be considered an underperformer. Far from it. Besides having a rugged and compact build, this amplifier doesn't skimp in the power department, providing 350 watts RMS to your subwoofer. If you're looking for a lot of extra kick for not a lot of cash, this amplifier is for you.
Rockford Fosgate Power T400-4 (estimated retail $499.99)
Although a $500 price tag might give you a little bit of sticker shock, just know that Rockford Fosgate has a long history of producing some of the highest quality amps offered in the industry. The Power T400-4 amplifier hits all the right notes. It's ruggedly built, incredibly durable, outperforms its competition, and is built to last. It puts out 60 watts RMS into each of its four channels, which yields superior sound. Some reviewers have called this the last amplifier you'll ever need.
Kicker 46CXA660.5T (estimated retail $449.99)
What we love about the Kicker is that it's great for those that have component speaker systems, and therefore, need plenty of channels. This amplifier has five channels which put out 65 watts to each of your front and rear speakers and an additional 300 watts RMS to your sub. In addition to being one of the most powerful amps on the market, it also happens to be one of the most versatile.
AudioControl LC-1.800 (estimated retail $499.99)
Rounding out our list of top amplifiers is the AudioControl LC-1.800, which is captivating reviewers and drivers alike for its powerful performance and extensive control. This mono subwoofer amp produces up to 800 watts RMS and AccuBASS circuitry, ensuring that your subwoofer has more than enough power to boom properly.
