Soundstream tarantula trx series?

[redmugenjazz]

hello, i'm looking at buying an amp for my little jazz but currently i dunt have any idea of which amp to choose from. Currently i'm thinking of getting a very decent amp for the long run along with component speakers, and work my way up to upgrading the HU and installing a sub and rears in the future. I went to autobarn the other day to see what they have to say. they told me i be best with the soundstream tarantula series. I havn't heard of this brand b4 but according to the sales person there it is 'the best' of car audio. So could i ask you pros out there if this brand is worth getting and which other brands are comparable to the soundstreams? the sales person also mentioned class a/b and class d amp, i'm noob, what does this mean???? thanks alot

not the best, but very decent. but seeing as your new to car audio, id spend the money differently..

including the amp, your future sub, hu, splits, rears etc etc.. how much are you willing to spend in TOTAL?? and will installation be included in that budget??

[redmugenjazz]

i'll say for budget is 1500 for amp, splits, woffer, n wiring , maybe HU. I might DIY the installation with a friend. Averson, could you give me a suggestion on how much i should spend the each component.

hmmm so hu, splits, 4chan amp, sub, subbox, wiring.

id divide it like so, give or take:

$300 HU
$400 splits
$100 wiring
$100 subbox
$200 sub
$400 4chan amp

forget about getting rears for the moment

my maths isnt great, spend $400ish on splits, not $300
