Looking for a more powerful amp, seen an in-phase one i like, is this the best i can get for my money?

i have a rockford fosgate punch amp atm, but looking for a whole new install

also if someone can recommend subs to complement this? either 2 or 4

Come back with the rms readings, and someone will help.

Avoid information from anyone using the term watts tbh.

i can't for the life of me find an rms reading, not even on their site :/ just looked good for the price, basically i have up to £250 to spend on an amp if you no a decent one tonto? ideally kicking out a lot more than my rockford ( about 400x2 at 2ohm)

inphase is a shocking brand, avoid.

They strategically don't put up the RMS figures for a reason, because it's shite.

i was thinking to goin 2 type r's but thing is the rms is 500 and u can get a inphase 12 with 700rms....... which is alot!! only £55 each but i need a lovely amp to go with them, planning on running two amps, one for subs and other purely for speakers so the bass doesnt drown everything out

RMS, Ohms, Sensitivity, Frequency responce.

These are the things you have to consider when building any system.

For example you can have a 89db sensitivity speaker being driven at 100% by a 100 watt amp that will be the same overall "volume output" as a 92db speaker being driven by a 50 watt amp

Can't say I've heard them but the best thing to do is pop into a decent car audio place and ask to hear them. If they are interested in making a sale it's easy enough to set up.

Obviously the acoustics will be totally different to inside your car but you'll get a good idea of how they sound
