need a good amp for my mids?

i need a good amp to run my mids. i have one running it but i get a lot of distortion. i also switch it with another one and still the same thing. but when i used my friends zapco z50 amp the distortion was gone. can some one recommend a good amp for mids that kills the distortion?

OK, three things to allow us to help you:

1. What speakers do you have?
2. What amps did you use?
3. What is your budget?

all i got is the stock mids and tweeters. i ran a mtx blue thunder and a la sound amp with it and heard the same thing. when i ran the zapco z50 amp it clear all the distortion. i think the zapco amp has something to stop all the distortion. i just need me a amp that does that for under 100 if there is one.

Yeah, about that Zapco amp.....it's about $1,700 retail if memory serves.....it's not that it has something to clean distortion, its that there isnt any distortion in its signal....heh.

I agree with Ludlam.....buy new speakers

Has nothing to do with the amp. If you have everything set up properly you will have no distortion. I have done several installs with cheap *** amps and the system sounds great because I know how to set and tune everything properly. Instead of blowing your money, sit down, take some time, and set everything properly.
