07mazda3s Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 I am starting to save up for a new amp. I don't need something really nice, just more powerful. I have a question, I have 4gauge power and ground wire, the kit said they were good to 760wrms, how high of an RMS amp is safe to run on it? I also would like opinions on a few cheap amps. Keep in mind, I know these amps aren't T40001's, I just want to know if they are reliable and if they put out what they say. Out of these three, which is the best value? http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_8177_K...+KX1-2000D.html - Kole Audio KX1-2000D.. 900wrms @ 2 ohms (1 ohm stable) $190 shipped http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_9582_P...EACT1-1800.html - Power Acoustik Reactor React 1-1800.. 700wrms @ 2 ohms (not 1 ohm stable) - $160 shipped http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_6549_Boss+GT1500D.html - Boss GT1500D.. 800wrms @ 2 ohms (not 1 ohm stable) $160 shipped Quote Power Acoustik fubar 12 sony xploding amp 2 ft^3 box @ 35hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

07mazda3s Posted August 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 Yeah I like the Kole Audio, I have never heard of them before but for what I want it to do that amp looks pretty nice, plus it's the only one in the bunch that is 1 ohm stable.

David Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 I would take a refurbed RF amp over any of the other mentioned, they do come with warranties, and RF refurbs them, you cant beat it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a huge difference, they could have called it a T6002 and had plenty of headroom couldn't they?
