I'm personally a fan of the Hifonics Zues and Brutus lines for multi-channel and monoblock amps. Have used multiple brands since i was younger and these two lines have treated me well.
i can't even take a video with my volume set to 20% cause my Hifonics equipment pushes every speaker loud enough to distort camera mic's. last night i wanted to make everyone a vid showing the xonar sound card in use in the car, but every vid i have is either not bumpin(so i could get the mic not to distort), or so loud that the whole video is distortion of the camera mic. lol

Most often its personal preference. Go to a reputable shop and listen to what they have. SOME will install and let you listen and if you dont like it they will change stuff out for you.

Hertz or DynAudio for speakers - Or if thats a bit high some of the Diamonds are worth the money.
Amps - Zapco Period
Subs - DD (for SPL) Hertz DynAudio or Treo (for sq)

I would never buy a Hifonics Titan, that is the Hifonics line I steer clear from no matter what.
And you are 100% incorrect brick. My CAMERA'S mic gets distorted, it's not because the speakers are producing distorted sound. but thanks for assuming the "distortion" you hear on almost every car audio video is a result of distorting amps........
After having used and experienced many of different amps I've placed my #1 allegiance with amp's to Hifonics, why I think this way might be a question to ask yourself brick, especially since you've heard bad things......
I like Cordia's suggestions. I have been wanting to get a Zapco for a while. Next time around I'll give em a whirl.

i heard they lie about actual output power...
and i read your post wrong, i thougth you said something like "my amp pushes my speakers so hard it distorts"
but even a 300rms sub will prob distort a camera mic so that dosent really prove anything

Now that we can agree on. This isn't like the original Hifonics when you got more wattage
The difference between reality and advertisement is less than found in many other brands though.
As for sound quality, bumpability, and reliability, I love the Hifonics Zeus and Brutus lines.
