So when I put my current rig together I got lucky on my amp. I got a vfl stealth 4500.1. I saw a dyno on it and it hit 1200 at 2ohms (which was about what i was looking for) and I got it new for a benny. It's a solid amp (once you get past the inflated ratings) runs cools and sounds good. But in all honesty I got lucky at that price.
I'm rebuilding to run a pair ssa icon 15". I've got an appointment to get a second battery installed. Done the big 3, 320 amp alternator, ran 1/0 ofc to the back. Now I'm looking for a 3-5k amp I really don't wanna get lucky again and just buy something decent.
Right now I'm looking at a refurbished cab-45 for $500. Is there something better to look at? My budget is about $500 and I'm not opposed to going used. I'd prefer to run at 2ohm just for the better efficiency and cooler running but that might be tough to do with my budget.
I don't know anything about running full bridge amps...they didn't exist back in the day. Any suggestions or info would be awesome.
Also in case it matters, I'm running a kicker cxa360.4 for my mids/highs
