need new amp??

Recommended Posts

ive been lookin for a new amp lately, and ive wired it down to 2 amps which are the kicker zx1500.1 and the mtx ta81001. there both the same power (1500rms) but the kicker is @ 2ohms, and the mtx is at 1ohm.which amp will have the better quality, output etc. and scince the mtx amp is 1ohm, will it draw more amps then the kicker will at 2ohms??

Ive got the Kicker in one of my vehicles and like it on a pair of SSD10s. Only issue with that amp is that the subsonic is preset to 25Hz and a shallow 12 dB/Octave. This is an issue if you are using a normal daily tuning in a ported setup (no issue to me since this ones sealed) Kicker is decently efficient, not sure about the other. Current draw for either amp isnt based off of the loads the amps are optimized for, but the output power at that load and the efficiency of the amp. You can have an 8 Ohm optimal amp that makes 2000W and is just as efficient as a 1 Ohm optimized 2000W amp... its 2000W/ 12 volts or whatever its running at/ %efficiency = current draw
