Efficient 2k amp for under $350?


AstoSoup

Recommended Posts

You could try kicker zx1500, fosgate t1500BDCP, and a few other choices. not quite 2k at 2 ohms, but probably all a solid 1500...btw your sub is a dual 2? then you only need a 1 ohm stable amp or am i missing something?

he wants to add another sub and those amps prolly go over his budget.

I would not hesitate to grab that 1400 of Evermaxx, that amp is legit and that's a good price and will put out more power than what you got.

Thanks for all of the replies, very helpful! I was afraid of the efficiency diminishing @0.5ohm :( At this point, I need to either up my voltage to feed an amp @14.4, which will cost money. Or, spend over my budget for a good amp that will power me @2ohms. So as a general rule, amps are more efficient at a higher impedance? I would splurge for a 2k @2ohms if it meant better efficiency.

Reading > me...He can find them all pretty cheap used. Hell there was a zx1500 for 150 local to me that didnt sell for weeks.A Fosgate t1500-bdcp should be able to picked for about 350. New options are limited.

Nothing man. It's just uber rare for people to run amps rated at 1 ohm at 2 ohm. Just hoping you stick around the forum long term to learn more about this hobby we have all grown to love.

Ohh, yea it is unusual, I admit lol. I will be around, had SQ setups for years and have never competed or done anything SPL oriented until now. That's why I am here, to learn and give back when I can!

I was going to send you a link for a Fosgate 1501bd for 200 shipped but apparently sold in the past couple of days. There are plenty of used options for 1500 at 2 ohms....its just 2000 that's going to be difficult at your price range.

get an amp you can run @.5 once you get your alt, just run it at @2 for the time being.

I think that CT 1400 is the problem solver! Didn't even think of the possibility they could do 0.5ohm :shrug:
