I don't have fb and I'm in a pretty isolated area, can't even find anything car audio on Craigslist lol. Side note found a md8000.1 for $20 more than the bass 5k ...I spend too much time looking but can never make up my mind. I'm still kinda sketchy on the Brazilian amps even though there seems to be no real issue if ur not just being dumb. I got decent electrical, 1/0 welding wire going in soon, have a 250a alt and 2 big deep cycles and a big ass 1200cca battery. That's next on my list is upgrading batteries.

yeah audio is the only reason i have fb, don't have any other info or anything about me on there other than to join groups and buy shit lol

 

if you're interested i'd be willing to contact the guy for you and setup him shipping to you and you paying him via paypal or something

So top dollar ( shipping tax everything) I got $400 for a new amp...did that change the playing field any? Any better choices out there in that price range?

not really still for a 5k other than brazilian or used.  

 

i was rummaging around the SSA store and saw their financing link, have you thought about that?  you could always pay a big chunk with what you have on hand then pay off the rest over time, that would let you get into a bigger amp AND build credit.  I know several online guys offer financing now too

Got poop credit lol, if it wasn't for snap on I wouldn't be in the 600s even lol. 100 percent payment history is good but most places don't like the score. I think I may even look for a pair of amps to strap , I'm open to about any viable option still. And the wfo 15.1 is too small , would be better keeping what I have, I got over 3k at .5 ohm at the moment.

Yeah I been thinking that but I want more power now that I went to the 3 15s .... At .67 I'm prolly pushing less than 3k and I want atleast 4.5k rms for my subs if I can

Price point went up to $480 now...if I can't find anything else I'm gonna get the taramps md8000.1 2 ohm. Getting it legit with a warranty also, that makes me feel a LITTLE better about getting a Brazilian amp.

Or I can stick with the md5000.1 2 ohm and get a "matching" 400x4 ...I'm a stickler for matching amps and I'd be giving my matching mids and high amp to my buddy also...I have a backup amp I can use till I buy a matching amp for the md8k if that's a better choice tho.
