Suggestions on amp....

Recommended Posts

I just built a new box and bought another Powerbass 3XL 152D (Not the new black/grey style). Have been running a Hifonics BRZ1700.1D on the one and have had pretty good luck. I figure the BRZ is giving the sub between 1300-1500RMS after rise, on 14v constant. However, I am seriously doubting this amp will power these subs, even at .5ohm so I am going to need a new amp after I break the new sub in. Looking at the Lanzar OPTI2601D. Have heard a lot of good things from people, but pretty much just things like "they power my subs nice", etc. What I am wondering is, will the amp actually do the rated 2600RMS @.5 like they claim? I do know the 2000D will do a little over rated, they actually clamp tested that one. Would like around 1200RMS CLEAN power to each sub, without throwing my wallet out in the window lol. Needs to be a .5 or 2ohm load, so the 2601 fits the bill. So hopefully good news on the OPTI, but tell it like it is guys! Thanks!

Lanzar= garbage, spend your money on something better.

That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

Since the company as a whole is shit.

Well it is pretty messed up to talk shit about a company on any board.

Anyway OP I used a cresendo s1500 on both my coils and got the dd1 and cc1 and it worked better for me.

I wouldn't call the company garbage entirely, have seen the OPTI 1537's do some amazing numbers.... Also know the OPTI 7k is one beast of an amp, just wondered about this particular model.

How much was the Crescendo? Have always loved their amps but thought they were quite pricey....
