5 Channel amp

whats a good 5 channel amp for around 350- 400?

the memphis big belle sounded interesting but i dont know the price.

that dls 5 channel looked awesome but was too expensive

not buying it right just want to know what would be good to look for in the future.

maybe this will help.

im going to run the 2 10" powerbase subs. they are single 4 each so something around 1000@2ohm on the subchannel would be good.

right now i have a fusion 6.5 comp set thatcan handle around 120w. but i might sell those. but the front two channels will be a comp set. then maybe i will try and use the 2 8" powerbase subs a midbasses on the rear channels.

also got a pioneer 490ib if that helps.

I know elemental designs isn't to liked around here but they might still have the Nine.5 for $350 but only does 450@2 on the sub channel. Just need to see if they have any left...

Dude for the $350 bucks, the ED is the way to go. I have heard a lot of good and bad about there customer service and business practices. But there amp are solid and they back them with a 5 year warranty

Really, you can get more power for less money by buying two seperate amps. More flexible installation options, too.

 

[sonic purity 10+ year member]

but the ed is a very big amp

What 2 amps can you buy for less than 350 that are worth buying?

I cant find a 5 channel that will do near that amount of power at 2 ohm. Matter of fact, there are very few that will do it even at 1 ohm. The big belle may be closest to your criteria.

and you wont, its either sacrifice power on the sub channel, or get 2 different amps, thats it. nine.5 is an awesome amp, i have it, and the sub channel rocks my fi q at 1 ohm.

i would port the powerbass subs, so that they wont need that much power to sound great.
