Gearstix Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 I know I might annoy some of you guys and make pretty stupid posts... but in the words of Ricky from the Trailer Park Boys.. "You gotta blame the thing upstairs" Heres the post from ***.. " do not want to run an amp @ 1/2 ohm. I have two dual 2 subs. I can get a Massive P3000.1 for $618.99, bnib, but it has to come over the border, so I'm not sure what border fees will be and stuff. MA Audio HK4000D http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/Pr...ProductID=14753 MA Audio HK802SX http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/Pr...ProductID=14738 I've heard both of these are power hogs.. I was thinking of going with a 200 amp alternator, and some extra batteries, would this be enough? I haven't found the batteries yet. I could also buy two SAZ-1500Ds, old heat sink design from dB-r. However that is really more than I'm wanting to spend. What else is out there?" However somebody mentioned the reviews of the HK4000D blowing subs.. This is my reply to my own topic.. "I've been told to get a used SAZ-3000D and run it at half ohm. I don't want to do this because I don't want to decrease its life... I honestly dont know what to do.. $800~ on two refurbished SAZ-1500ds.. I dunno.... " I don't really know what to do.. I need two amps that will do 1500W @ 1 ohm or one amp that will do 3000W @ 2 ohm. I'd like to spend around ~500 bucks but.. I don't think that will give me alot of options..

Boon Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 If your electrical is good a SAZ-3000D won't have its lifespan shortened by running at 0.5 ohms. After impedance rise you'll be way over 1 ohm anyway. Personally I would avoid the MA Audios. Seen too many of them blow up... Quote 10.x volts fo' life!

I dunno. I'm trying to get an alt aswell... If I get one of the more expensive amps that I posted, I won't be able to get an alt or batteries right away... but i'm not in a rush to get it done as my sonoma still needs work too..

Nightshade Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Stay away from those Audio Pipe amps. They are complete crap. There is a guy that was on Team Roadquake with 3 of the 3000's on 6 15's and he was only making something like 4000 watts out of three of those amps. They will NOT do the power that they claim they will. I am going to be selling my Crunch GP3000D and if you're interested let me know. You won't be able to get one of these new ever again. Maxxsonics is discontinuing them and replacing them with a new amp next year. Mine is in almost mint condition except for a minor scuff to the heatsink. Pm me if you're interested in getting something done. I can tell you that you won't be able to touch one of these amps for under $550 anywhere on the net right now unless it's used. This amp will run at .5 ohms all day long with the proper extra battery upgrade and would even help to add a ho alt with it, but can be run at .5 and has without a ho alt.
