I was looking threw crutchfields web site and saw a "profile" amp. They are pretty cheap for what they are. I was just woundering if anybody has ever heard of them or used one. How do they perform? Also this might sound dumb but can I run two speakers and two amps with a 2 channel amp?

here is the link to the amp.

    Did you mean 2 speakers and 2 subs?

    Agreed. As far as "budget" amps go, those are about the best. Good build quality and clean power.

    I have used Profile extensively in many budget installs wih much success. I have yet to hear anyone complain for any reason about them. Good, solid clean power. Don't expect them to be under-rated in the power department though. They pretty much put out what they are rated at. However, the amps are pretty stout for the money even at rated power levels. They are also clean with average THD being around .05-.08% which is about what alot of the higher end amps run at. They also have decent slew rates. As what was said earlier, they are well built amps with beefy, MOSFET power supplies and good build quality. You can't really find anything better at those prices except for maybe some of the Kenwood amps.

    Yeah, I've used Profile amps in the last couple installs I've done/had... They're great amps. Really cheap and they put out decent, clean power (as everyone else says). I've had no reliability issues with them. I even had one mounted to my sub box which wasn't secured and one time while cornering hard, the box flew (literally) into the side of my car and put a big ol dent into the amp, yet I never had any problems with it. This was my first system back when I just started driving so I've learned my lession since.
