Raptorman Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 I have a Power Acoustik MOFO 152X sub. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_17677_Power-Acoustik-MOFO-152X.html Currently it's being powered by a crappy Soundstorm SSL Evolution 4000D wired at 4 ohm. I would like to have a good amp that puts out 1500-1700 rms while wired to 1 ohm. Electrical currently will only drop to 13.8 at the most from a 14.4 idle. My budget is anywhere under 300. Lower the better, obviously. My income is next to nothing. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you. -Hunter Quote 1996 GMC Sonoma Four Fi BTL Neo 18's In 2:1 6th Order Bandpass 2 Ampere 5k's @ .5 TEAM FI TEAM #LITHIUMCANTDEMO On 10/20/2013 at 0:37 AM, KillaCam said: Fucking with a Prius driver is like making fun of a disabled kid.

Just in my opinion,.. id rather not even play a audiopipe...just me...

Watch the bass Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 The best guess for a new amp, is 30 $ over the budget a Crescendo BC 2000. If you havent try to find a used Sundown SAZ 1500 D (Want to sale section). Anything in new for this budget is more or less another form of waisting money.

Raptorman Posted June 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Hmm I think I'd probably choose the Brutus. It's pretty cheap, and a lot of people mention it as a good amp. Thank you for your help everyone!

Or would there be hardly any difference?

Watch the bass Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 (edited) I dont know why you want to change shit for shit. The Soundstorm http://www.ebay.com/...=item53ed5e7255, is rated in watt 4000 watt @ 1 Ohm. This seller didn´t tell are they max watt or RMS watt, RMS watt are the only intresting watt´s for us. So we try to find out how many real RMS watt´s the Soundstorm out. Biggest help for us is to see how high is the amp fused (see picture three in the auction)? There 3 red fuses if im right there 40 amp fuses, so we have together 120 amp´s. Sorry that i didn´t can tell how exactly the math is threw this term. I know that 1000 watt RMS must be fused with arround 100 amps, so you´r SSL amp put out between 1200-1500 watt´st, exactly this what you searching for. Now you have the amp what you searching for 0 $. For a part of the saved money you can do http://www.stevemead...big-3-tutorial/ the Big 3 in 0/1, gauge if you havent done it till now, it help´s to strength your electrical car system. And if you want you can buy a fine XS-Power batt for more fun.

And if you want you can buy a fine XS-Power batt for more fun. What would the big3 do to help him having a less than substantial amp? Big 3 helps if you have voltage drop...thats it....its not a magical power adder that gets you more rms power from your amp. BRZ's are not amazing but gets the job done alright....at least their ratings are much more realistic...I would venture to say its still better than the Soundstorm. Using the fuse rating 40x3 and a perfect world of 14.4volts you get 120amps x 14.4v = 1728watts. Thats in a perfect world...I doubt it puts that much out...my BRZ is fused for 140amps and puts out 1000-1100... maybe lol. OP save a few bucks more and go with BC2000 Crecendo...or even try and find a used one or used sundown or skar 1500. THere are some more too...just go through the FS secton.
