For future reference, my system will be installed as follows;

Source: Pioneer AVIC-Z2

Front: MTX Thunder6000 T6.6

Rear: Stock(99% of the time, these are turned off)

Sub: Eclipse 88150Ti (DVC 4Ω - Box Specs)

Sub Amp: Infinity 611a (650W RMS @ 2 ohms)

I'm not going to amp my components, they sound great being powered from the head unit. I know I could squeeze a little more from them by going external, but I'm satisfied as-is for now.

With all of that out of the way, I'm looking for amp recommendations for my 88150Ti.

Budget: $300, less, if possible!

Specs: 1000W RMS @ 2 ohms, or close to it.

Some models I've been looking at are;

  • Audioque AQ1200D (870W RMS @ 2 ohms)
  • Alpine MRP-M1000 (1000W RMS @ 2 ohms)
  • Kicker ZX1000.1 (1000W RMS @ 2 ohms)
  • Cadence ZRS-7000D (900W RMS @ 2 ohms)
  • Cadence ZRS-C65 (1200W RMS @ 2 ohms - might be TOO much for my sub)

The ZRS-C65 intrigues me, but those specs accurate?

I'm open to other amps within my budget.

I had a brain fart, it lasted a couple of days! I have a Cadence TXA-6004 sitting on my garage right now. I'm thinking I'll bridge each coil off of a set of channels for 600W RMS per coil. So channels 1/2 bridged @ 4 ohms for 600W RMS, channels 3/4 bridged @ 4 ohms for 600W RMS. I'll use the 2-channel input option on the amp to avoid inconsistencies in the signal going to each coil.

Since my TXA-6004 will put out the same power as that ZRS-C65 I stand to save about $210 going this route. Someone enlighten me if I've missed something!

Thanks for the link, I'll look into it if my above project doesn't pan out.
