akuma4u Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 I want to get this amp but the subsonic 25hz or off option is bugging me. My boxes are tuned to mid to high 30s so my ssf needs to be set to 30hz no less or else it starts sounding dirty, (at least it does from testing on other amps), so setting it to 25hz on a 36 to 38hz tuned box sounds like a no go... If anyone can verify this or if 25hz would actually be ok pls let me know. Would love to get this amp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiBo Posted May 12, 2019 Report Share Posted May 12, 2019 I think there's better choices. This amp is excellent for 1 ohm SPL applications where you know you're going to need big power at a discounted price. Needs fans IMO. At the very least it needs 2 group 31 batteries also or it runs very hot. Protects easy if precautions aren't taken. In all honesty it's hard to find a good 3k for under $450-$500. I've ran this amp and still run the 1000.4, I wouldn't run an xtr again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just read this now..after i just won an ebay auction for a used xtr for 220...i have my doubts as im on stock alt with 2 agms. The current draw is high on this amp so its very power hungry hence the heat etc. High maintainance amp. The other 2 amps i had in mind were the wolfram c2400 and the brutal sounds bs2.1. obv they do way less rms but they are much more efficient esp the bs 2.1 its like 91% efficient and they both have a variable ssf. They barely get warm even when running full blast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
