THD = total harmonic distortion. there is prolly so little variation between the amps. And it isnt noticable either

yeah its silly to buy an amp based on a rating such as that... the only things that I can think of that realy matter are power handling to a point and actual sound quality.... the rest of the specs are really quite trivial

Actually, if you're interested, I've got a Rockford Fosgate 800a2 for $225 + shipping...it might have a few years on it, but it's one of the older models before RF's quality went downhill. If you're looking for something cheaper than new stuff, let me know.

Rockfords quality never went down hill. The new power and punch amps are some of the best amps they ever made. I dont think you could go wrong with either the alpine or jl amp. Good luck with the JL.
