I have been out of the loop for a while. What are some good class D mono sub amps around 500-600 watts? I'm looking to replace an amp for my 12w6v2 subwoofer.

 

Kicker dx500.1. Clamp tested 545rms @1ohm
Alpine mrp-m500 500rms @2ohm not 1ohm stable
Own them both both powering a single alpine 12" type R 500-1000 rms no power shortage. Kicker seams to have a little more kick. Same price amd what not kicker wirimg terminals are set screw allen head holds wires better alpine ia the standarded Phillips with square washer not really my favorite but ot works.

 

One set up in buddies car other setup in my work car. Got a hifonics brutus brz2400.1 amp. And the brand new type R's in the nissan. 2400 rms amp @1ohm subs are 1000 rms each go big or go home
P.s. better to send 200watts over power to the sub than 50watts under power get a bigger amp and turn it dowm. Overpowering does not hurt subs turning the gain all the way up/clipping will kill a sub in a week...

 

Alpine and Kicker are good options. I've run several Rockford Power series amps with good results. As for clipping, just make sure you set your gains correctly. With 500-600 watts RMS you will be fine. I've run 12W6v2's a few times.

What is your budget?

 

Somewhere under $300

 

What ohm rating are you set up for where you're looking for 500-600 watts?

 

Check out the new pioneers, GOBS of power and cheap - GM-D8601 would be perfect for you.

 

I'm looking for a 2 ohm rating. The pioneer looks nice! I'm not sure if I should go with that or something with the full 600rms watts at 2 ohms for my sub (the pioneer is 500).

It seems PPI, Soundstream, Kicker, Alpine, MTx... the list goes on all have a mono class D sub amp. SO many choices. I already have an alpine pdx 2.150 for the fronts but it seems the sub model (pdx 1.600) is phased out and people want a lot for a used one. The newer model is $$$ So the search continues....

 

Boston Acoustic is selling refurbished amps. You can pick up a GTA-800M for $150 shipped. It puts out 500 watts RMS at 4 ohms & 800 at 2 ohms......Full warranty too.
