What to do you guys think about the PHOENIX GOLD OCTANE-R SERIES AMPS? ARE THEY ANY GOOD? THE MODEL I WAS LOOKING AT WAS THE R5.0:4.

Phoenix Gold is a very respectable brand name in amps. Them and Lanzar are the only amps I prefer. IMO

I don't know about Lanzar being respectable, there opti series isn't bad but the rest is junk.

Lanzar isn't the cleanest sounding amps out there but they are very very durable. They will take a beating! They won't go down without a fight. I like the Lanzar Vibe 261D.

i have a Octane 2.5:2 powering a single Octane 12R dvc and i am impressed with it. for the money PG makes some good stuff. However, its no longer made in the USA and doesn't have gold plated circuit boards like the originals. but it looks and sounds pretty good.
