I tried to create a page like this just for the BTL, but I don't think it went over too well :)

I'll throw out some #s, all are at 14.4v

-I like the hifonics bxi2006d for 2000 watts. Pushed a BTL OK, and pounded on a BL. 2000wrms @ 1ohm over-rated a bit, but very cost effective.

-The Sound Stream 10000d I got didn't work, but it weighed about 50lbs and was a beastly looking amp. 5000wrms @ 1ohm. Supposed to be safe in the 16v range.

-Very happy with my Memphis 4ks, 4000wrms (CEA-2006) @ 1ohm. Very thin while being 32 inches long, very impressive looks (SEXY!)

-Quantum 4000, I think it puts out more like 2k...

Many many others, but that's all I have experience with.

maybe someone with some experience with the following amps could chime in, all are fairly popular:

RF 4000s (supposed to put out around 4500)

DD Z1/Z2

SS 6500d (a bit over 4k)

American Bass 400.1

I would kill for some of those cactus 5ks or 7ks...but the only dealer in america wants 2200 per 5k, and 2800 per 7k. Way over my budget, but supposed to be amazing. :lickscreen:

How about some links to any of these amps.

Who's selling them at the best price

And the manufactures links.

Let's have a thread where all of this is centrally located so access is easy and you don't have to google everything everytime. Plus all .com names are not so obvious.

Thanks in advance Joe Rod

No opinion here - just results both are great amps but if i have to make a suggestion id say go with Sundown you wont be dissapointed. All results are with a single 18" BTL Fully loaded in a stock class setup in my grand cherokee. All scores were from official Usaci events and literally nothing was changed but the amps.

Memphis 4kw @.5 - 154.7

Pair of Sundown 1500d's @ .5 strapped - 155.3

And to show the real power of the 1500's

Streetbeat (Same setup/same song just diff amps)

Memphis 4kw @ .5 - 153.1

Pair of Sundown 1500d's @ 2 strapped - 153.0

The pair of 1500's was only .1 down and they were being ran at 1 ohm per amp (2ohms strapped)!

Obviousely other peoples results may vary but i just thought id share mine :)

When running 1 Earthquake PHD5000 at 1.3 Ohms it was hitting a 141.4 in a 3.25 cuft. bported box out of the trunk of a chrysler 300. I ordered another earthquake PHD5000 and plan to run them both at .65 ohms. I know they say that they can only be run at 2 ohms but my friend runs 4 of them at .35 ohms daily with 4 RE 12" MT's, the amps don't even get hot. Mine right now is putting out 3852 watts. These amps love to be ran at lower impedence, running at 4 ohms my friend blew the s&$! out of his it caught his trunk on fire. So I will let you know what type of numbers it does when I get my new amp in.
