2 Crossfire VR2000D or Audiobahn A5000SPL

[impalafan95 10+ year member]

I'm not sure which amps to get for my 2 Treo CSX 18s, 2 vr2000d's or 1 audiobahn microwave. I would definately rather have the xfires, but I can get 1 a5000spl for about 300 less than 2 crossfires, and I'm not exactly rich, lol. I'm not a fan of audiobahn by any means, but if these can put out clean power, thats all I need, i'm not doing a show install. Are the crossfires worth all that extra money? I would be running the crossfires at .75 ohms each, and the abahn at 1.5 in my daily driver. Whichever way I decide to go it will be supplied by 3 stinger spv70's.

Is that audiobahn any good? From what I've read over on termpro its pretty good, I would love to have 2 crossfires, but I make $6.15 an hour and am about 1k in debt with my mom.

well that audiobahn is an aswsome amp if you have the money for it, but the current draw demand is high as hell

Yea I probably will, as much money as I'm dumping into my system. Not sure about what comps i'll be doing, but this is first and foremost just to be a loud daily driver, competition 2nd, because it's a trunk car(impala ss), and I'm not about to take my backseat out to wall it off.

well this matters to me...

Perosnally I have to kicker 1250.1's(Selling) and the reason for me selling them is because they put me into Advanced under ISACA's rules...

I want to stay in stock... and having 2 amps puts you into advance so thats why I would pick the audiobahn

Yea, I have the money for it, I can get a used one for like 600 or less shipped, but the crossfires would be around 900 shipped. Are they worth THAT much better? 3 Stinger SPV70 batts and a HO alt should be pleny of juice whichever way I go.

id run the 2 crossfires, but IF you got the power to run that audiobahn power plant id go for it, and for $600 shipped even better, get me one

well I did a review on Audiobahns customer service on this forum and I would recomend that you look for it. Audiobahn sucks and there customer service shows it.

I would go w/ the crossfires hands down...especially comparing too Audiobahns

Yea, thats a good point, 2 18s and 5000w in stock class would be nice. I think I'll go with the audiobahn since its so much cheaper, and both are good amps.

I was in stock 2... and won a good deal of comps.... with ONLY 2/5's of the power my new amp will do.... 1250 rms.... doing 143.... compaired to 5000 which will do 150's...

I mean 4000 is doind 150.6... add another 1000... thinking 152...

Crossfire. 1 battery to each should put out about 2200w rms at 1 ohm at 11v.

Expect around 2800w out of each with only 1 battery to each.
