| As, I am going through the process of replacing my tan interior with the newly acquired black one it occured to me there would be no better time to replace my dying DEI 300w 4 channel amplifier. So, as my budget for rearranging the sound system is limited by other expenses, coil overs, body/paint I am looking for an afforadable replacement to the DEI amplifier. In my perusal of whats out there I have come across 2 Profile model amplifiers that I think would work well and thusly I ask y'all's opinion there of. This amp will be powering a set of MB Quart 6.5" componets in the front and MB Quart 4x6's in the rear; nothing too extravagant. Profile AP740
