Dear Sifu's

Need your advice on the below two cheap amps ?
Which one can we consider buying? Only required to power component and a 6x9 ?



Thanks

the v12 is a bad copy of an old alpine amp

caliber is an old american brand, but this one is a china amp using the same name

i recommend u keep your money, save up for something better

hmmm...if you say so bro.. thank you for the advice..

+1 to zennn's opinion..

these amplifiers might not be as reliable as the reputable ones..

lets say these amplifiers might cost you rm300. burnt after 6 months. then you would need to buy another amplifier, lets say another cap ayam at rm300.

why not save up rm600 to buy a second hand reputable amplifier that would last for more than a year?

Thanks for the advice bro... its true of what you have said.. i guess i'l juz have to wait..and get a good one.

bro termometricool..why dont u use yr kicker and kenwood amp huh?very nice wat...i would like to have it oso

that V12 fake amp was the 1st amp that I've bought since 6 years ago, and that time was the start of my "ICE" journey..bought it for RM180 and pair it up with 12inch Audioquartz subwoofer in ported enclosure (cap ayam) for RM200..2ch bridged to subwoofer, another 2ch connect to stock speakers..that time i know nothing about ICE, but the sound quality is acceptable and the sub can really hit hard when you want it to..nice memories

hey bro toniseah...how are you ? so hows ur ICE progress.. i'v seen you asking alot everywhere.. hehe ..
..i saw u are selling back the JBL which you bought..wut happen bro ? u la ..ask from me but never buy.. so now im into ICE already.. currently i have the Kicker 2ch to power my Kenwood sub.
Now i need an amp to power my morel tempo... im looking for cheaper amp.. but everyone request me to get a better one..

don't get too excited 1st..in later stages, you'll soon realized that plenty of $ flyaway and wasted, but you definitely will learn something on past experience mistakes and will improve it in future..it still depends on how demanding are your ears..hehe

hmm...yeah..i guess we all will never satisfy with anything.. haha.. we will always want better.. rite bro ?
but then im still confused.. at first.. i only plan with a comp + 4ch amp + sub... then smone adviced to use 2 amps instead.. then i decided to use two 2ch amp..to power my sub and another 2ch to power the comp..

now.. when i went to a shop..he requested me to get a 4ch instead of 2ch...so which means .. one 2ch to power the sub.. and one 4ch to power the comp and the 6 x 9..... hahahha .. duno what to do already... hahahaha

no need 6x9 lah, fronts & sub enuff. if sub isnt power hungry then u can use a 4ch amp for sub & fronts. if u buy power hungry sub then u may need a separate sub amp, can be 2ch or a monoblock

I agree with zenn. My current set up is 1 pair 5.25" at front and 1 pair 6x9 at the back. Recently my 6x9 kaput already, so I removed them. When I switch on my player, my system sound even nicer than before la.

Ok..thanks for the advice bro... shop ofcourse wanna earn money... hahaa

maybe i can put another 2cents in here.. hehe.. in my opinion, i believe that getting a 4channel amplifier for speakers is good. even if you only use a set of front component and 6x9.. you can forget about the 6x9... can reserve the 4channel amplifier for front active setup in future if you feel wanna go active.. then you wont need to buy another amplifier.. its kinda saving money too.. hehe..
