Posted December 6, 201212 yr Looking for a new amp. Trying to get a better one.Any of these any good?http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hifonics-ZRX2000-4-2000W-4-Channel-Class-A-B-Zeus-Power-Car-Amplifier-Amp-/300828609459?pt=Car_Amplifiers&hash=item460ac84bb3http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-SOUNDSTREAM-Tarantula-TX1-2000D-2000W-MONO-D-Car-Audio-Amplifier-Power-Amp-/390477355117?pt=Car_Amplifiers&hash=item5aea43986dhttp://www.ebay.com/itm/Power-Acoustik-BAMF-2600-2-2600W-2-Channel-Class-A-B-BAMF-Car-Amplifier-Amp-/290825886332?pt=Car_Amplifiers&hash=item43b692da7chttp://www.ebay.com/itm/Power-Acoustik-GT4-2600-2600W-4-Channel-Gothic-Series-Power-Car-Amplifier-Amp-/300828557721?pt=Car_Amplifiers&hash=item460ac78199
December 6, 201212 yr The first two are decent but I do not like P.A. at all. But that's just me. For your budget unless you buy used your very limited.
December 6, 201212 yr That hifonics amp is going to require more power to run it at the same level as the soundstream since it's a class a/b amp. The SS is more efficient. Just something to think about. What subs are you using?

December 6, 201212 yr The links you provided are for mono, 2 channel, and 4 channel amps. Why would you use a 4 channel amp for a sub? Take a look at this http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_23547_Hifonics-Brutus-BRZ1700.1D.html if you're powering a sub, but you need to think about the total ohm load when/if you add another sub.

December 7, 201212 yr Then you will need an amp that does the power you need at 2 ohms or find 2 amps that can strap together.
December 7, 201212 yr 1300 rms at 2 ohms isn't going to be cheap or easy. Start looking at the larger Hifonics amps with your budget try this one http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_23549_Hifonics-Brutus-BRZ2100.1D.html
December 7, 201212 yr Focus less on rms figures since they are useless and focus more on making an efficient enclosure. Just make sure you get a reliable amp thats of some good quality.
December 10, 201212 yr Focus less on rms figures since they are useless and focus more on making an efficient enclosure. Just make sure you get a reliable amp thats of some good quality.RMS figures are useless? How so? Just how efficient of an enclosure are you talking about that the amp's power isn't a factor? Like... infinite baffle? Or maybe a 6th order with +12db gain?Or did you mean THOSE amps' RMS figures are useless? Edited December 10, 201212 yr by IDGAF

December 11, 201212 yr 800, 1000, 1300 watts rms : your ears won't feel any difference. So, don't focus on power. Unless you double the power, it's useless to have the more powerful amp for your speakers.Focus on a good custom box, as it plays a huge factor in how the sub will sound.
