I have a complete budget system that I will be starting as a little project for me. Im a senior in High school with not much money to spend so I'm looking for opinions on a nice budget Amp that will give out about 1-1.5k rms power at 2 ohms (it'll be running to (4) 4 ohm subs). My budget would probably have to be around 150-250$ give or take a little. I'm open to all opinions and come here to ask you guys since no other reviews and forums don't have as much knowledge as you guys ;). Thanks

4 single voice coil subs would wire to 4 ohms or 1 ohm... i assume you mean 4 ohm DVC subs?

Yes, sorry DVC...any opinions?

you are gonna want that power at 1 ohm, 4 4ohm woofers will wire to 1 ohm, in which case that XT2000 in your sig would work. unless they are DVC 4 ohm subs.

for 2 ohms: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_12120_...+BXi+2008D.html

or check out the f/s section here or ebay for a used amp

I wouldn't touch it. But with you budget, it's going to be hard to find a decent amp. Any problems buying used? That's your best bet.

both the SPL amps are gonna do about half of what they say...

You got any opinions then rush since you personally dealt with the subs im using (MA80XE 8's). I have no clue what to run these bad boys with....and BTW i will be sending that payment soon.

I'll dig through my "toy pile" and see what I have that may suit your needs.. :)

they'll do good on anything around 1000watts at 2 ohm... I wonder if the amp you have may be able to handle the .5 ohm load? I've never owned/tested a US AMPS amp... maybe try your amp out at 4 ohm for starters....? You may be suprised..

rockford t3002 or t5002 off ebay, make like 800 and 1000 respectively, at 2ohm according to the rockford website.

had a t3002, it tested to 937 @ 1ohm and 846 @ 2 ohm not bad for a 300 watt 2-channel...

oh yeh and you can pick up a nice refurb t3002 or like 150 shipped on ebay.

Find your self a used Phoenix gold Tantrum 1200.1, or Phoenix gold RSD 1200.1. both great amps.
