2x75w+ for less than 100$?

[spencer321 10+ year member]

i'm wanting to do a 3 way active setup, planning on running either 2 mj 18's sealed or 1 ixl 18 ported havent figured that part out yet... but i'm thinking bout running the peerless sds midbass, dayton rs100 4in midrange, and tang band 1166sj 1" neodymium tweeter all controlled by a clarion 785 HU so i need 3 2 channel amps (or a matching 2 channel with 4 channel) trying to find out what my options are for less than 300 total.

So recommend me a total of 6 channels (2+2+2 or 2+4) for elss than 300$ with 75w rms

how much power per range

im planning on running peerless sls or sds midbass, dayton rs100 mids, and tang band 1166SJ 1" neodymium tweeters

so i need 50w on each chanel for the midrange and highs, and 75w-100w for the midbass

so a 4x50 and a 2x75 or 2x100 would be very nice

thats what i was thinking... but maybe they ****? lol its 218$ and free shipping

my sds mids are 45$ for the pair, my tang tweets are 40$ for the pair, and my dayton midranges are 50$ for the pair so i figure 360$ for 2 amps, 6 channels and 6 speakers ain't bad. 180$ for the clarion 785 headunit to run it all, makes me a cheap bastard.

and in light of the fact that i'm still somewhat of a basshead the sub stage for my "sq" build will be either 2 MJ 18's seeled or 1 IXL 18 ported, leaning towards to MJ's on either a zx1000 or zx1500

all this in my standard cab dodge ram, should be loud... i think

heard good and bad things about audiopipe but supposedly they are CEA rated...

it appears as if the audiopipe, the phoenix gold, and the hifonics all come out to around the 200-220 range which is good... now its just a question of whats better

lol, i actually saw those too. this ended up being alot easier than i thought.

Some of the guys over on DIYMA are not real happy with the Cadence amps.

yeah i've been going back n forth between here and there, they've helped to change my mind on some of my components, going to be running peerless sls midbass, dayton rs100 midrange, and the seas neo tweets. comes out to about 200$ for speakers. and im actually leaning towards the phoenix golds or the audiopipes. one reason i like the audiopipes and this is a cosmetic reason but, the amps will be mounted on top of the sub boz, which is only gong to be 10" wide(standard cab truck box), so a narrow long amp is sexy and fits just fine, the audiopipes are only 7 inches wide and between 13 and 18inches long.

supposedly the audiopipes are CEA rated, i haven't heard too many bad things about phoenix gold ever, and hifonics bxi line has a pretty decent rep for good cheap power.

I am on there everyday and have read quite the opposite.

to bad you dont need just one 75x2...I have an mtx mxa3002

 

[spencer321 10+ year member]

ugh i can't make up my **** mind about midbass and tweeter, im pretty set on the rs100 for a midrange, but looking at the reviews for the ND28 i'm leaning towards that over the seas neo's and for midbass i think i'm going back to the mach 5 mli 6.5's i've heard the low end response for the mli's is insane.

in which case the rs100 is 30w rms (going to use the 8ohm version)

the ND28 is 30w rms (6ohm)

and the mli is 100w rms (4ohm)

so now i'm looking for a 4x50 and a 2x100, which i would think would be fairly easy but who knows lol ugh... i know bass not components i'm one of those guys who just gets a 2x150 2 channel and a set of alpine type R or pg RSD's and call it a day.

but i want more than just the bass this time, that seems to be the easy part after this.
