LukeYoung Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Ok so I'm ready to buy an amp for my 2 SMD 18's and I'm not the richest guy and I was wondering what would be my best option in the 400 dollar range. I got a MA Audio( http://www.amazon.com/MA-Audio-HK602SX-Channel-Amplifier/dp/B002KMAKJW ) or an Audiopipe 3500 ( http://www.rickiesdiscountelectronics.com/audiopipe-aqx35001-3500-watt-rms-class-d-mono-1-ohm-stable-amplifier-21902.html ) what are the up and downs here guys?

korey_hofer Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 the MA by far they are both power hungry both are close in power the MA s cleaner though and it's $100 cheaper. I'd try to get a crescendo 3500 instead though Quote previously known as wenn_du_weinst aka fucking internet coward supreme. I talk shit on other forums like a little bitch and hope i don't get caught out on the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louisiana Bass Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Why not just raise you budget by 150$ and get the crescendo? You have amazing subs, why cheap out on the amp? Quote N8. No homo...unless you want there to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supercharged DCs Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 (edited) Why in the world would you run Audiopipe or MA Audio to SMDs? That's illegal on 17 states! And oh no, $500! You have amazing, expensive subwoofers, why buy a cheap amplifier to run them? And why did you go with SMD 18s if your only going to run around 3kw to both? Oh yeah, No Vs Threads Edited June 19, 2011 by Supercharged DCs Quote Bassless once again. Can't seem to keep a system for more than a few weeks Saving for a '06 Nissan 350z, look for build around June 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
