Rep Power: 0 as far as i have heard legacy amps suck, the power ratings on there are way over inflated, you wanna stay away from legacy's. you need a good quality amp it if sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Rep Power: 0 If you want an amazing amp ... you should look at the old Kenwoods ... the KAC line ... mine is a KAC 923 ... this is when Kenwood made high end car audio amps ... now kenwood is like sony pretty mainstream ... but the old one's rock !!!

Rep Power: 0 I'd rather have quality over quantity.. just because it can drive a speaker to pump out mega volume doesn't mean it's going to have good image.
I've had a few amps in the past.. Rockford Fosgate.. PPI.. Alpine.. JBL.. Pioneer.. they were mostly good, but I would say JBL & PPIs were my favourites as far as sound quality goes. PPI was very flexible..
I think Legacy probably does over-rate wattage, but that's pretty much same across all less known brands. They sell by advertising high wattage.. audio wattage is obviously very deceiving. RMS & Continueous ratings, power supplies, etc etc etc.. they all contribute to quality and quantity of sound.
In audio world, for the most part, you get what you pay for.
