is this amp good for what i want? :)

im jsut wanting good looks and some nice sound.. this will most likely run 6x9's i would probably get something heavier for my subs

but this looks perfect for the style im aiming for and 1000w is pretty good right?

let me know please ASAP i need to buy it within 2 days. thanks!!

I've never heard of them in the three years I've been in the professional business so i'm sure they're not that good.. but who knows.. anyone on here have something from this manufacturer?

yeha i hadnt heard the name. but its a fair price for 1000w.. so i figured i may give it a try. if its jsut driving some 6x9's it should be ok. but more input would be nice

not to mention the thing looks blody ncie and for wher ei want it. it should fit perfect..

im mostly aiming for bad reviews? if all i can get is "i dunno" then ill go for it and letcha know
but if anyone has bad experiance please lmk

i have never heard of that brand for the past 2 years of my car audio interest. im gonna have to say stay away from that amp because of such cheap price (for a cheap product) and because no one i know of can vouch for "nitro". maybe it could be a underground or not so advertised amp? =/

1000 watt power = 500 rms or lower probably. and thats damn alot for 6x9s imo. i never heard of a 6x9 speakers that can even handle 500rms or 1000watt peak.

good looks with good sound requires quality and money. snoop around www.crutchfield.com www.sounddomain.com those 2 sites would usually sell products that are worth paying for. than check out www.ikesound.com www.onlinecarstereo.com and www.hookedontronics.com when ready to buy

IMO, dont bother with that amp. you get what you pay for and thats a little below the standards

IMO, i wouldnt bother with amping the 6x9 because: its located in the rear deck where the driver/passengers ears arent hearing music from those 6x9s. its more of a luxury for the rear passengers. i wanted to amp my 6x9s too but after few searching and threads, i decide not to. ppl been there, dont that, their results came out unsatisifed.

do you plan to amp just the 6x9 or all 4 speakers? (6.5 & 6x9)
whats the rms rating on the speakers? price range? and lastly, whats your color scheme? blue is a rare color, so if your doing like two-tone silver and blue, silver would be fine?

yeah im doing to tune silver/blue mostly

i will be doing the fronts. they are more important to me. i search ebay for 6.5 and the prices arnt very high so i dont know what to expect for a good set of 6.5's?

and if needed i want to amp the front ones. so im not sure. the amps for the front speakers will sit in the trunk rack also so hm..

^agreed. the hifonics line-up are silver amps with blue colored logos on the top and side. there great amps too (the brutus line up/mono sub amps). http://www.maxxsonics.com/hifonics/index2.html

as for your front speakers, invest into a component set. a component set = 6.5" speakers, tweeters, and crossovers. a good decent set should start from $80-300 for the high quality ones.
