Sammy Delgado Unregistered guest | I need a 600w rms amp in 4ohm load(2x300w rms at 4ohm) or actually i could bridge the amp (since im getting 2 300w rms subs) and have it be a 2ohm load... either way i need an amp to put out 600/700w rms in the long run BTW-- 150$ budget |

Silver Member Username: G3nocd3San Jose, Ca USA Post Number: 135 Registered: May-05 | Its worth the price tho. I dont know amp for $500 that can beat a jl 500/1 amp. Not one In performance /specs/price ratio. Ive had a vast amount of amps and nothing has beat my jl in opinion. Its worth the cost. What other company has 1-4 ohms 500 rms. none. all other amp manufactures amp watts depend on the ohm. not for jl tho. Thats y i reccommend it . |

Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 2894 Registered: Nov-04 | Don't forget Xtant amps. They're as good as JL if not better and costs less. Orion HCCA G4s/XTR/SX will beat JL 500/1, PPI Art series are better amp, PPI PC/PCX series will beat JL in price and performance. JL make very good amps but at an inflated price. And they have no reason to lower it cause it's selling. |

Gold Member Username: Jonathan_fGA USA Post Number: 3901 Registered: May-04 | For $150, unless you run across a REALLY good deal on a great amp, you need to look into a JBL 600.1. Good amp for the price and all over the place, can be had around $150. Puts out 600 RMS at 2 or 1 ohm, by the way. |

Bronze Member Username: KitkattPost Number: 23 Registered: May-05 | phoenix gold makes decent cheap amps that run 1-4 ohm without rms changing (like the jl you talked about)...i know it's not as high quality but they make a 600.1 or 1200.1 for decent price and is pretty good i think |

Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 2901 Registered: Nov-04 | Ok I'm thinking chocolate again?? Tim I wouldn't try .5ohms unless your amp states it can handle it. Pushing it too hard will cause the amp to clip/distort, most likely blow the output stage too. If you want to try .5ohms, then look at Orion HCCA G4 amps. |
