BJD3 Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 I'm looking for an amplifier that will put out 800 to 1000 watts RMS at two/eight ohms bridged (highly unlikely) or 400-500 watts RMS into two channels at 4 ohms. From my internet browsing, I've noticed that pro audio amplifiers have a tendency to be a bit cheaper than plate amplifiers of the same power at the expense of fan noise (and I don't care about that; I don't notice my 360's fan noise). SO. I've been looking at these two: Crown XLS 202 Crown XLS 1000 The XLS 1000 is like one hundred bucks more expensive, but it puts out less power where I need it to. Being that they are from the same manufacturer, I'd assume that there is some feature I'm missing. I also don't know if the wattages listed are RMS watts or peak watts (though with Crown being a respected name, I'd assume that's RMS watts). Basically, this is me asking if either amp is a good match for what I'm looking to do, and/or if there are other amps that can equal or surpass these for the same money or less (preferably from Amazon/Parts Express. An extremely limiting requirement, I know). EDIT: fixed links EDIT2: And this is going to be run off of my reciever with a single RCA sub out. Anti Peel and Seal...lol You may be offended by the above. Don't take it personally, I'm just abrasive. 2002 Buick Park Avenue DC Level 4 M2 12 D2 Car Audio Bargain 1600.1 Eclipse CD3200 ~2 cubes @ 34 hz.

Socky Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 On crowns website, it says the 202 puts out 600rms and the 1000 puts out 700rms both at 8 ohms. Id just go with the 202 for cheaper price.

onebadmonte Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 Just to let you know depending on your receiver the voltage output on the sub out of your receiver might not be high enough for the amp to reach it's full potential. You might have to get a line driver to boost the receiver's sub out. I use one of these. samson s-convert Good luck with your project.
