jcm1689 Posted April 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 anyone have any suggestions for a amp(s) that will put out 3000-4000 watts and around $500. It could be 2 amps that add up to this wattage also i dont really care but again around the $500 Quote R.I.P.

jcm1689 Posted April 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 (edited) well after looking around the last couple days i have read some bad and some good about the pca3500d. so with that in mind i have done some more looking and found some more choices. http://www.millionbuy.com/earphd5000w.html http://sonicelectronix.com/item_8426_Hifonics+XX-THOR.html http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/Pr...ProductID=16494 http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/Pr...ProductID=14979 Or 2 of all of these http://sonicelectronix.com/item_6336_Hifonics+BXi+1606D.html http://sonicelectronix.com/item_8015_Infin...ence+1211a.html http://sonicelectronix.com/item_8571_Kenwo...on+KAC-X1R.html http://sonicelectronix.com/item_6189_Power...ik+A1800DB.html http://www.millionbuy.com/powasa15001d.html http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/Pr...ProductID=14978 http://www.millionbuy.com/soscr40001.html Dont really know much about any of these amps so any input good or bad on any of them will help.

Chris Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 I'd go with 2 of these: http://sonicelectronix.com/item_6190_Power...ik+A2400DB.html I forget what a fully loaded BL can handle, around 1800 right?

jcm1689 Posted April 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 (edited) Alright well i think im going to go with the power acoustiks or the pca3500d. I really like the looks of that keenwood amp for some reason but i think 1200 watts is gonna be a little short on power. oh well i would rather have something that works good vs. something that looks cool though Edited April 24, 2007 by jcm1689 Quote R.I.P.

Ive been lookin for a amp to run these for a while. im on a budget so i cant go rockford like i wish. i came across a good deal on a Soundstream PCA3500D and just lookin for any input on this amp? why can't you get rockford?? you can get a RF T20001bd which would thump them subs pretty good for 599 on ebay. (100 bucks more than you want to spend but you get the real shit!!) the re-mans have a90 day warranty as well and look and sound as good as new--(this is what i use exclusivly) good luck Quote I got banned for being an ignorant ass....and im a dickhole i like men, michael jackson and large sausages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
