anyone got one? are they any good? i know they are cheap but is the quality good i'm not forking out hundreds of dollars for an amp as i'm not going into car shows or anything and all i really want is something that will put out at least 60W per channel with zero disortion.
looking at the Avalanch 4ch 800w
any comments?

honestly i havn't heard one but the guys at strathfield told me to steer clear from them.
if they are rating it at about 200w peak x 4. yu could really expect around 40-50w rms if your lucky....
it will be better than the head unit.louder but far from crystal clear. you get what you pay for in the end.Also reliblity may be an issue with a cheap product like this.my 0.02cents

If you just want one that does the job for 6x9's or 7x10's get a 1000W amp like i said in your other post. Get them off ebay for like $160 brand new. Although its a factory second, i got mine like that and it works sweet on 7x10's
Always look for RMS coz W dont mean shit usually. The boss 1000W 4channel puts out 4x60RMS which is enough for speakers

RMS is Watts,  Assuming RMS means the same as it does in all electrical subjects, someone correct me if wrong, it's the root mean square of the peak wattage.
Which means your 1000Watt peak 4 channel amplifier in an ideal setup (no losses) should produce around 175WattsRMS per channel.
Again this may be wrong but I assume that RMS means the same thing everywhere.
As far as my knowledge of amplifiers goes, of which i have very little, I've been told cadence make reasonable ones, but if you want some general explanations of terms used for specifications on amplifiers go to http://www.cardomain.com/glossary/glossary.pl?term =rms+power
and they have very general and understandable explanations on specifications
I think all this may be off topic but it might also help.

Ive had one for about a year running my JBL 250rms subwoofer and it sounded pretty good for the money i paid for it but now i just purchased a 600rms JBL comp amp and you can really hear the difference. Your better off getting the 1000watt 4ch boss amp if your after a cheap amp.
