cbianco Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 I'm looking at 5 channel amps for my car. My budget is $300-$400. I would like the sub channel to put out atleast 500 watts @ 2ohm. I've narrowed it down to these two. My sub is a DD 1512D4a. JBL-GTO 5EZ @14.4V F/R 4 x 50 Watts @ 4 Ohm Sub 1 x 500 Watts @ 2 Ohm DB Drive-Okur A3 2200.5 @14.4V F/R 4 x 150 Watts @ 4 Ohm Sub 1 x 1000 Watts @ 1 Ohm (1 x 500 Watts @ Ohm) I'm skeptical that the DB Drive puts out the power it says it does. I have no experience with either brand, at all. Any opinions? Other options? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riley Evan Houser Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Can I ask why you don't just get seperate amps? That way you can get a A/B class amp for you mids and highs and a class D for your Subwoofer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe X Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) Here are some other options: http://www.sonicelec...9&scrollTop=445 But it would be less expensive and better performing to go for a 4 channel AB and a Sub amp.

White Lightning Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 5 channel amps are great for "listening" systems ... But if you plan to beat the shit out of it ... My suggestion yould be to go with multiple amps (2 2 channels and 1 mono block) for maximum power supply setup ... one power supply just wont be able to handle the punishment ... just my suggestion here ...

cbianco Posted June 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Can I ask why you don't just get seperate amps? That way you can get a A/B class amp for you mids and highs and a class D for your Subwoofer. Simplicity of design and only a small budget to work with. Alot of 5 channels offer a/b for mids and highs and d for the sub. ALpine PDX v9 It's a bit out of my price range but dully noted. Here are some other options: http://www.sonicelec...9&scrollTop=445 But it would be less expensive and better performing to go for a 4 channel AB and a Sub amp. I can't agree to this expecially once you add in distribution blocks, most likely an extra battery, and additional wiring. five channels are the way to go for a simple daily driver install i think I'd agree. Simplicity of design and an oppurtunity to get my feet wet. 5 channel amps are great for "listening" systems ... But if you plan to beat the shit out of it ... My suggestion yould be to go with multiple amps (2 2 channels and 1 mono block) for maximum power supply setup ... one power supply just wont be able to handle the punishment ... just my suggestion here ... For now, $ are a factor. With a multiple amplifier setup there are many additional costs. audison lrx 5.1 is a 5 channel that has plenty of balls. \ class a /ab/ and d LRX 5.1 is a sweet amplifier but too rich for my blood. Anyone have opinions on the two amplifiers I've posted at the beginning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
