$100 Amp Contest

[spitfirees20 10+ year member]

Well I've decided to come up with a little contest because of a question I was asked today: what's the best amp you can get for $100 or less? By best, I pretty much am basing the comparison on output (rms at any ohm, 4, 2, 1, etc). You have to post specs on the amp, and a link to where you can get the amp for ), simply post what you think the actual rms is with some proof (calculations based on current draw, efficiency, bench tests, etc) Let's see what some people come up with //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Re-furb 600d???

Why would I buy another $100 amp? Not only that, you didn't post a link for under $100. If it's the orion 600d a link for under $100, even refurbished, would be impressive. It's a contest, I'm not buying anything, it's all for fun.

500 watt rms, not taking into account overrating on either side, FoxPro5 has you by 40 watts rms.

FoxPro5 is currently the winner //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

600 watts RMS at 4 ohms, southstylestang you are currently the winner.

You wish //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Unfortunatly, it's just sitting there because neither the enclosure or the car that it's going in are ready to go yet, but that's neither here nor there. Coincidentally, I have a sub-$100 budget amp ready to push it at 1 ohm (or blow up, who knows). Check out the sig
