Ok heres the deal I just bought a Rockford Fosgate power T2 12" sub it runs at 1000 watt RMS, i spent close to 400$. Now my question is since is spent a crap load on the sub, couldnt cheap out on that.. i dont want to fork over another 400$ for a mutli channel rockford amp. All i need is a mono 1000rms amp. Ive looked up one that im considering getting is a MA Audio amp. Does anyone have a MA Audio Amp, if so is it any good? 1200 Watts RMS MA Audio Mono Block Amp HK1998 Amplifier $140 us.

Any suggestions will be apreitiated.

 

Should have spent an equal amount on the sub and amp, you're not going to find something thats gonna be worthwhile in that price range.

 

i most certainly agree, the subwolfer was bargand down from retail price because I bought it with the enclosre but im sure u dont have to pay retail for everything if u look hard enough. well hmm check this out nismos14

do you think this is reputable?

 

I would not put anything MA audio in my car, at worst I would go with Profile or something like that.

 

Yeah, don't tie a T2 to a MA amp. You could also look at the Hifonics Brutus if you're considering a cheap amp producing that much power that's not above $300.

Suggestion would be to save up and purchase a good amp, if not, you could end up replacing the amp and sub in the future.

 

suggestion well taken you guys have been very helpfull. Ok i just got paid today, i mean i can afford any amp i just wanted to get the best deal. Im cheap but not when it comes to high end times hence the rockford power t2. So would u guys suggest any amp to me? (price is not so much a issues also just trying to keep it under the sub cost) 400-500.


thanks

 

Try Powerbass, older alpine cheaper US amps, memphis audio as well. Don't cheap out on amps ever. You will end up getting an amp that can't do rated power at reasonable distortion levels and you WILL send that expensive woofer some really clipped signals. Clipped power is not good whatsoever.

 

Arc audio, dls, USamps plenty of good ones out there.

 

man.. 400 bucks for a Rockford Fosgate speaker? that hurts.

 

take a look at autotek mean machine

 

old school fosgate bd1000
MTX 1501d
Alpine 1507
Orion 2350 although itll be over that 300

if you can get that 1501 its a monster, and easily modded to over 2000 watts. EASILY. also the 8100d

 

the 400 bucks is what i sent for the rockford subwolfer

 

Yea i see alot of professional stereo shops use autotek mean machine amps to power their rockfords

 

SO thats not made by rockford?

 

yea the mean machines are great i am using it to power two diamond audio d6s and it sends a very crisp clear signal with very very low distortion.

 

..I dont get it.

 

i dont get it either im saying yea i just bought the rockford t2 but know im looking to buy a amp to power the t2 is all.

 

sterling do u know of any websites that sell this amp, ebay is pulling up only 2 sadly, i think imma go mean machine!!!!

 

This should be nowhere close to the others in the same sentence.

 

I loved my D61500.1 till my silly behind didn't secure it properly. I can't wait to get it back.

Personally, for the price point, Arc is the next big jump up. It is def where I will go next.

 

I think Don can hook you up with something nice.

 

the newer US Amps amps are pretty impressive, and powerful. they've teamed up with RE, so they cant be that bad.


Infinity KSK you're missing my point completely. Its unfortunate you already bought it, but there are much better subs to be had for $400 than any Fosgate.

 

I got it off ebay for 330 brand new and like 20 some thing for shipping

 

I will keep my comments to myself.

 

As long as you are happy with it, it doesn't matter.

 

i am extremly happy with it sir. Plus I was just helping him out, answering his question

 

oh common, share away

 

cadence txa-1000d

have u ever heard a rockford power series? punch series is garbage i know but power series is omg teh sex. i would only consider jl or kicker other then rockford. i havent heard my t2 12 yet but im sure once i get my amp ill be happy. and retail on a power t2 12" is something around 800?

 

LOL jk or kicker and rockford........ aye aye aye.

 

JL and Kicker are the ONLY other brands you'd consider?

You should probably widen your horizons a wee bit, theres dozens out there many enthusiasts here would choose over all 3 of those brands...

 

"they can't be that bad" does not describe ARC + DLS amps, so Christopher is right.

 

i was talking about the US Amps. I know in terms of SQ, they DLS and Arcs are better... but US Amps put out their rated power, reliable, etc etc

 

I know what you meant...

 

its raining cats and dogs here

 

Yes I have heard many of them. Left ALOT to be desired for me. No wonder RFs sales have been greatly diminishing putting them in for a hurtin.

Unfortunately you've fallen prey to mass marketing. Take your eyes out of the tunnel for a bit and look around. Theres ALOT better products to be had than the RFs/JLs/Kickers of the world.

 

Please dont, I Really want to hear what you have to say about current USAmps.

 

he could've bought my Nobellium off me for 400.

 

Ahh yes, absolutely. It would have kicked the hell outta that RF too.

 

The new RF's are like audiobahns, all show, nothing else.
