You could also do two 6k amps. Little bit more selection if you went that route. 2008 VW Jetta Team Fi 12 CT 4000.1 CT 125.4 PWX 6.5 80 PRS EB Flex 2/0 Second Skin ^^^ Build ^^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMS Posted January 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 So no objections to the Banda though don't get me wrong amps like the encore 12k and b2 the Raven look very appealing but they cost twice as much and aren't as powerful. But yeah other than the amps you listed the emf audio merika is about the only other on the market I can think of other than huge amps such as the doomsday. And those other class d full bridge like stetsom and soundigital don't appeal to me as much as the Banda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those amps are more expensive because the quality of components inside, the reliability, the durability, etc. I run taramps and love them, but they are cheap for a reason.

BMS Posted January 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 Will it last 2 years likely if so I'm good. My CT sounds lasted 2 days so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMS Posted January 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 However I thought they were cheaper because they used less components in their design not cheaper ones necessarily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalledSonic Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 Keep in mind long boards (over 5K usually) are more expensive to repair and some shops wont even take on the responsibility. Something for you to think about/consider when determining cost of ownership. I was going to do a AA TFHE at 0.7ohm but instead went with (2) AA 5Ks at 0.35ohm. No regrets.

True in a sense, but the components ARE better quality in most of those korean big amps. Brazilians in general are more susceptible to vibration, low impedance, and whatnot. I personally have ran taramps and never had an issue (*1 issue but might have been my fault). 6 hours ago, WalledSonic said: Keep in mind long boards (over 5K usually) are more expensive to repair and some shops wont even take on the responsibility.

That is one perk to brazilian, less to fix IF something goes wrong. Generally a cheaper repair for same cause of death.
