DodgerCannon Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Hi all, Seeing some threads saying the 9k is more powerful than the 12k... I just want to know what amp will be best for me? Will be powering 2 level 5s, daily, 12v setup w/ 15v charge... competing for a bit of fun but I might get into it more. What amp will be more reliable? Are there any disadvantages between either amp other than the 9k been more expensive? Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt402 Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 id go with the 9k. u would have to wire the 12k lower to get the same power from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ18 Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 On 12v either will be good. I say the 12k just because the 9ks are all pre sold to the best of my knowledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are very similar in power output at 12v. The advAntage of the 9k is that it is strappable and can be run up to 18v. When bridged the 12k and 9k amps are very similar on 12v.

brownm3 Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 (edited) OP just wondering if you ever consider strapping two 5ks. Although those 12k surf boards do look sexy.

CJ18 Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 The 12k would be cheaper than 2 5ks. Pm me if you have questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
