ok tax returns should be here any time now, and i need an amp for my 12" Titanium. I've been bass-less for months now.. Don never got back to me in that other thread started be maxmale (i should have just PMed him i guess)... but its ok i want a bunch of opinions anyway. i was debating a beefy soundstream.. or the ED Nine.1 or maybe an xtant. my budget is around 3-350 (like to stay lower of course unless its a steal).. i want it to be around a 1000 watts.

single 12" Eclipse Titanium DVC 4 ohm.

thanks!

 

Buy my arc 4150 xxk bridge each side to each VC, sick power. $600

 

lol that sounds like itd be too much power, haha

too much $ anyways

anyone else?

 

no one? come on..

i found this, http://www.lightav.com/car/amps/poweramps.html

some big amps on there. how accurate is this? seems to be a pretty good list.

 

for that price that is tough. I just bought 2 ARCs. I would say the ARC you could look at the KAR line from ARC that may be cheaper. KAR 1000.2d Elipse amps are not bad for the money. Anyone else have other thoughts.

 

3 - 350 for a good solid 1000wrms is gonna be tough to find... unless used.

 

alpine 1507

 

anything by eclipse, diamond audio, DLS, Focal, or Rainbow. Those are the best names in car audio.

 

kicker kx600.1 or the newer kicker amps...they are 100X better than ANY ED product.

 

Lovin' my Arc Kar 900.1D

 

Those are SOME of them. There are several more. Focal and Rainbow dont make amps.

 

Diamond D3800.1?

 

I read that as D 3800.1

oops.

 

Duh !


.....

 

BTW, just got your message like 45 mins ago. hehehehehe

 

It's funny cause the timing still works....

 

timing? lost me...

 

My message said it was a little before 11:00. You checked it somewhere around 12:00. 12 hours later, but the timing was still on.

 

blah, no matter now...

 

how bout my message......

 

I usually stay out of "what should I buy" threads, but......

I'm glad you cleared that up. Arc/DLS makes great stuff, Eclipse makes nice functioning HU's especially for the money (donno about their other stuff really). I'm sure rainbow stuff is awesome as well as pretty much everything Don sells. This board is lucky to have a real dealer that has real stuff at competitive prices, but that doesn't mean that those are the only good brands out there, which it seems like sometimes on this forum.

Look into the MB Quart amps at ikesound. Reviews have them putting out lotsa clean power and they're affordably priced. The Arc Kar series is also a good recommendation. If you're OK w/ class D (I'm not, but many are) look into JBL BP amps which are affordably priced and have a good rep.

Are you OK w/ used? Maybe I'm the only one that hasn't gotten screwed over buying used from reputable people on the forums? That brings up plenty more options that you could afford.

 

thanks guys, ill look into each of the amps stated..

yes im ok with class D, and used amps, thats fine with me. my sub was used, and seems to be working great when i tested it on a buddys amp..

thank you all for you input!

 

BBoy, why aren't you okay with class D amps?

 

I've never gotten to do a direct comparison swap one after another, but too many people that have have noticed a difference in SQ. May not be audible if the rest of the system isn't up to snuff, but if it's hearable to many people, I stick to the side of caution and stick with A/B.

How much power do i need for a single woofer??
caouse i was going to get a Zapco 500.1 and JL Audio 12W6v2.
Is the Zapco amp going to do the job or is it weak, or too much power for the JL Audio 12W6v2??

 

Zapco will be fine on that sub.

 

its not going to be underpowered is it?
