...what amp to get


AB18VFL

Recommended Posts

right now i'm running an american bass 100.1. its rated at 1500watts but im pretty sure its overrated. it only has 120amps of fusing. im looking to upgrade to an amp that will do a LEGIT 1500-2000 watts, without being more than 400 bucks. i will be using a stock alternator, so im not looking for more than 2k rms. How are the Hifonics Brutus amps? they seem pretty good for the money. any suggestions?

stock alt should be ok... just do big 3 upgrade and get a secondary battery... also look into Crescendo BC2000 they are 339.99 shipped pretty good price!

To be honest stay away from the optimas... you can order batteries through many of the vendors on this website...

I actually clamped a vfl 100.1 I had a few years ago to do 1800 watts.. I had two on sc lvl 4 18s w 5 coils and it pushed em to the point of getting smelly quite a bit on good clean power

lol im guessing this was probably before they were made in korea. yeah mine def didnt do any 1800watts. it was more than enough power for what i had, but not nearly enough for the subs I plan on getting.
