Which amp?
|
New member Username: M0nstarToledo, OH U.S. Post Number: 1 Registered: Dec-08 | of these amps, i was wondering which would be worth the buy (as well as best fuction), all are brand new, and the left price is online store, the right is ebay. OH and I need an amp that can run 1000 watts at 1 ohm. JL audio 1000/1- 800/ 535 MTX XThunder X1000D- 269/ 240 Hifonics TXi 1508D- 200/ 188 Alpine MRP M1000- 319/ 268 Kicker zx1000.1- 429/ 289 K.W. eXcelon KAC X1R- 300/ 219 RF Punch P1000-1bd- 400/ 325 P. Premier D1200SPL- 425/ 400 Memphis 16 MCD1000- 450/ N/A then the lower end modles. Sony XM- D9001GTR- 150/ 128 Crunch P1000.1- 163/ 133 Me personally, I'm leaning towards the Hifonics. And I'm still open to any suggestions. Budget is anywhere under 400. F/u_c/k that JL thousand. |

And no theres not ways around that unless you change subs. Audioque 1200d is $249 and fits the bill perfectly. So does a RD 1000.1 from kevin holden you can get a good price. |

New member Username: M0nstarToledo, OH U.S. Post Number: 5 Registered: Dec-08 | wow, snow. THANK YOU. that is probably the most helpful thing you have ever said to me. anyways, my big brother just moved back in with me, and im pretty sure i know more than him about car audio, although i don't know much.. point is, he's always been a big L5 and L7 fan, and he used to have a JL 1000/1 pushing 2 15" L5s. it all got stolen, but he swears that RF amps are garbage. is this statement just another display of his lack of knowledge, or is there some reason behind this? |

New member Username: M0nstarToledo, OH U.S. Post Number: 7 Registered: Dec-08 | ok, now kevin and i are working out me buying the A3, but can anyone tell me what im doing? I have 2 dual 4 ohm subs. Each one needs to be running 500w rms. so 1000w rms total. should i wire them to 2 ohms a piece, then bridge them? or leave it at 2 ohms per channel? A3 specs: Output power in 4 ohm: 2 x 150 watt Output power in 2 ohm: 2 x 270 Watt Output power in 1 ohm: 2 x 425 Watt Output power in 4 ohm bridge mode: 550 Watt Output power in 2 ohm bridge mode: 870 Watt Output power in 1 ohm bridge mode: 1200 watt |

Gold Member Username: Hittin1Lake Charles, La. United States Post Number: 1992 Registered: May-07 | you will need to bridge to get the 1200 watts |

New member Username: M0nstarToledo, OH U.S. Post Number: 8 Registered: Dec-08 | kcuf that. I'm not getting the A3. I'm just getting a RD1000.1 |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Philadelphia, PA Post Number: 9262 Registered: Jul-06 | good choice of amp And kicker sqaure subs suck in SQ, and RF power series amps are good. So your bothers 0 for 2. |
