If you're sourcing from the US, you have a more broader choice of amplifiers. You don't find the Sands nor the Sonus in the US with the former a Thai brand and the latter the project child of two of the biggest car audio shops in the Philippines (BluePrint and JC).

Due to the strong peso, I understand that most products seems cheap when buying from the US. However, take into account the shipping expense too. For the Powerbass, it seems pretty good as SRP in the Philippines is around 13k. Actually, everything I suggested on the earlier post has a budget of 10-15k. From the recommendation, I like Sonus is because it performs handsomely for its price reason for this is because it doesn't have any marketing expense to shoulder and 100x4 is excellent as far as RMS ratings are concerned.

To be frank, to get good sound. You'll need to change your head unit to something that offers more tuning features. If not, an external processor will suffice. Of course, that's my own "perception" of good sound. Try installing them all first then buying a processor afterwards if you want more.

+1 kay sir jhnkvn, big factor din ang may magandang HU. then add na lang ng ext. processor pag di satisfied. pero kung may makuha ka na HU w/ processor (P99rs), much better.
