1992Chevy K1500 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 OK, so I need another amp recommendation. I need either: An amp that will do 500 watts RMS at 1 ohm An amp that will do 500 watts RMS at 2 ohm An amp that will do 500 watts RMS at 4 ohm An amp that will do about 750-900 watts RMS at 1 ohm Or An amp that will do about 750-900 watts RMS at 4 ohm The one's in bold would be prefered. Those are my only choices because of my box design. The box will be a Tline and I don't want to risk damaging the sub by putting more then it's RMS on it (which Forevrbumpn said in his tutorial might happen). I'd prefer to keep it as cheap as possible because I haven't worked lately due to a foot injury, so I don't have much money and probably won't for a while.

BanginOnABudget Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 (edited) what sub will you be using? 500rms@4 is a lot of fcking amp for a tline, unless youre going BIG. Edited October 18, 2009 by BanginOnABudget Quote im taking out my passenger seat, battery is disconnected, going to unwire and take out the three amps, take out the 70+ lb box, then the platform so i can crimp 1 wire. Almost as bad as those fegs that put those horns in their grills and roll down the street distorting the block.... 1990 Jeep Cherokee 2 Dr. Big-3 in 0g on Stock Alt. Pioneer 6.5" and 5.25"s temp. until i can afford the new crescendos. Pioneer 6000ub Reciever NO amps at the moment. SA-15 on 1kw coming soon. MSG Me for a free enclosure design!!

1992Chevy K1500 Posted October 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 I was thinking a LVL3 12", which I know I can fit. 1, 2, or 4 ohm will do, as long as it does 500 watts RMS cleanly. I'd be willing to do a LVL4 12", but it'd be a while before I could.

1992Chevy K1500 Posted October 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Anyone? Oh well. If no one has anything bad to say, that's the amp I'm getting as soon as my paycheck starts coming in again. I hate not having a paycheck.

OK. So I have 3 different choices to think about. Hmmm... Anyone ever use one of these three amps? http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_19812_...am+Di475.1.html I know it's cheap, but I've been unable to work because of a severe injury. I'd be able to buy this one after 1, possibly 2, weeks once I get back to work. http://onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/p_2139...ate_R500-1.aspx A bit more expensive and definitely out of my price range for now. But it's an RF, sooooo..... http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/p_...cs_BXI_610.aspx Dam near perfect for my needs. About the same price as the RF, so It'd be outta the question for at least 3 more weeks while I get back on my feet. But not impossible.
