    Well since my old amp randomly burned out...i now get to buy a new...better one. So i was looking at these two amps and i was wonder if anyone could point me in the right direction....

    2-Channel Bridgeable MOSFET Amplifier
    Output Power:
    2 x 200W RMS (15Hz to 30kHz) @ 4Ohm 0.04% THD
    2 x 290W RMS (15Hz to 30kHz) @ 2Ohm 0.04% THD
    Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR): 95dB
    Filtering:
    80Hz to 2.5kHz - High Pass Filter

    Or

    My opinion personally, I stay away from pyle's.. I have seen too many burned out. It's just not sturdy equipment. I don't know about the new power acoustics, but I will tell you that I had several coustic's back in the day, and I thought that they couldn't be beat for the money and the amount of torture they would endure. But, like I said - new stuff, it's a gamble

    what was your old amp, and why did it burn out?

    what to look for

    when looking for an amp look for a reputable brand
    as i always say "you only know better when your exposed to something grater
    so one of the most important things to look for is an amp with a good crossover section and a low THD
    some of the amps that i worked with and did very well : corssfire, interfire,mtx and there are lots more out there you just have to try them.
    i used a power acoustic amp about to months ago and it failed the test "badly"
