sean 371 Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 I need to figure out an amp that'll pump out at least 1000w, ill order subs once i figure out the amp. Something like an RF 1000BD would be nice, but that might be a little outside the price range, although maybe if i stretch... I want to stick with one manufacturer for both sub and speaker amps. Any recommendations?

Slinky Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 i would say look at subs first or both at the same time. you need to know what ohm your going to be running at.

sean 371 Posted February 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Well I know I'm going with 2 Type R's, either 2 ohm or 4 ohm dvc. So it's pretty open. I'm thinking about just going for the 1000bd, theres some good ebay prices for it. Refurbed with like a one year warranty. For $350. RF refurbs are pretty reliable, judging from what I've read so far on here.

No brand preference, thats why I was asking. Price range is around 400. No size limits really.

Slinky Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 $400 is enough to get a nice amp like a 1200 watt kicker or somethin around those lines.

Slinky Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 or if you wanted more power, i got my pa3000db off ebay for 300 shipped. thats at least 2000 rms right there. you could get one of those. and you could get the dual 2 ohmers and have a 2ohm load on the pa and have headroom for later on down the road.

Slinky Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 i dont have any experience with refurbs Quote DD M4 Rockford Fosgate P500-4 SoundQubed HDC415 w carbon fiber cap 2 Rockford Fosagate T1675-S XS Power D3400 Under Hood XS Power D5100 in rear Michael Singer 200A Alt Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/153901-2012-veloster-update-842013-wall-build-4-15s/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokey Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Me either, but you also gotta remember that RF amps are underrated. It will put out more than 1000RMS at 1ohm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
