[QUOTE="tinmanchris217, post: 5939670, member: 610505"] I read everything in the archives that I could find, and here are my top 3 choices for budget (though quality) amps capable of 1500 w RMS @ 1 ohm or more. I'll be competing in the 0-600w RMS @ 4 ohm class of USACi, so I can't go *much* bigger. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif[/IMG] My subs are Pioneer Premier ts-w2501d4's. 1600 w RMS @ 1 ohm, and 5000 w max (claimed). [URL="http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Products/CarAudioVideo/Subwoofers/Champion-Pro/TS-W2501D2%7CD4"]Link for those interested.[/URL] Electrical system is sufficient, but not stellar. 80 amp alt, yellowtop, and big 3. 1/0 run to the back. The amps I'm eyeing: 1) Powerbass ASA-1500.1D 375 @ 4 750 @ 2 1500 @ 1 [IMG]http://ep.yimg.com/ip/I/millionbuy_2054_69715649[/IMG] [URL="http://www.millionbuy.com/powasa15001d.html"]Powerbass ASA-1500.1d[/URL] 2) Audiopipe AP-15001d 600 @ 4 950 @ 2 1500 @ 1 [IMG]http://cardiscountstereos.com/Images_For_Catalog/AP15001D.jpg[/IMG] [URL="http://cardiscountstereos.com/catalog%20page.asp?Product+%23=AP15001D"]Audiopipe AP-15001d[/URL] 3) Hifonics Brutus bxi1610 550 @ 4 1100 @ 2 1600 @ 1 [IMG]http://www.audioassault.co.uk/images/res/2009_03_11_10_55_49_BXI1610D_277_160.jpg[/IMG] (would buy from fleabay) Each has their merits. Hifonics will re-sell the easiest, but is over-rated slightly. Powerbass will be the most reliable and under-rated. Audiopipe will handle 1/2 ohm, for future system expansion. I'm hoping to get some honest opinions on customer service, reliability, and build quality from the forum gurus. Thanks, Chris [/QUOTE]
