5-channel amp

[07BronzeFuz 10+ year member]

i just email him about getting it on millionbuy.com and to see what the policy was. I will let you know he normally replies in a couple hrs. I would love for ED nine.5 to come back out. i would be all over it. I have been researching 5 channel amps for about 2 months. I used to own a kicker kx700.5 and it was a good amp and then I got a belle and I should of never sold it......

Im interested in the powerbass 5 channel also.

I had some powerbass stuff once before I liked it.

I know Neil Barber down here has the big powerbass amps running his stuff.

Yeah, i have been looking at both those amps. the 700.5 is in my price range, but i really want a belle.......its shiny........

^^^

the 1100.5 is the one to go with its sub channel is 500x1 at 2 ohms. its priced at 169.99 and shipping is less than 25.00 so that 100.00 under your 300 price. Hell you probably can find a sub and still stay under 300.00. I priced the 1100.5 powerbass amp and 3 10" rockford subs on that site and the werr 119 for all 3. They were the p1's but for less then 40.00 a driver I know they will get loud in a ported box off 500 watts.. Im going either 3 10's or 1 15 ported.

look at this one. I believe im going with thishttp://www.millionbuy.com/powasa11005.html

i have been talking to one of there tech support. Seems to be a good amp. Weighs 20lbs.

Likely won't do near rated power.

Fuse rating is 80A (2x40A).

80A * 13.8V = 1104W

Factor in about a 40% loss minimum for the A/B topology and that's around 660W RMS between all 5 channels.

Claimed output is 4x150W + 500W RMS at 2 Ohms for a total of 1100W RMS. No way in hell.

Here's a refurb ZX700.5 for $220 shipped. HiFiSoundConnection is an authorized Kicker refurb/b-stock dealer, so the amps do have a real warranty.

Soundstream 705s if it hasn't been mentioned yet

 

[timaishu 10+ year member]

Probably wont do what you looking for, but the infinity 5350a is nice. It what I use.

Does rated power.

 

[stocker08 10+ year member]

The Soundstream 705s would be nice, but hard to find. The infinity 5350a is a little underpowered for what i want.

----- thats true on all amps right....

 

[stocker08 10+ year member]

No, its not true on all amps. I bet it does near rated power, but not quite what it says there. My guess is that it puts out around 800 watts RMS max.

Nope, it's not true on all amps. Many amps are CEA-2006 compliant, which ensures they'll make their rated power as advertised under real world continuous conditions.

There are a lot of amps that aren't compliant, so sifting through them all to find out which one's will and will not make rated power can be a bit of a challenge. Best thing to do is scour through the forums and review sites to find out and use your best judgment.

" Consumer Electronics Association published standard CEA-2006, "Testing & Measurement Methods for Mobile Audio Amplifiers." This "voluntary" standard advocates a uniform method for determining an amplifier's RMS power and signal-to-noise ratio. Using 14.4 volts, RMS watts are measured into a 4-ohm impedance load at 1 percent Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) plus noise, at a frequency range (for general purpose amplifiers) of 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. Signal-to-Noise ratio is measured in weighted absolute decibels (dBA) at a reference of 1 watt into 4 ohms. This applies to both external amplifiers and the amplifiers within in-dash receivers"

^ Yep.

Help me out here az if you would:

Using 14.4V instead of 13.8V for my example yields an output of 1152W RMS. Take away 40% at best for the A/B classification, and that's 691W RMS at most.

Since the power potential at 4 Ohms is stated to be exactly half that at 2 Ohms, that would leave 346W RMS to be divvied up between all 5 channels.

The amp is rated at 4x75W + 250W at 4 Ohms for a total of 550W RMS.

My guess is that it's max would be around 4x45W + 165W RMS at 4 Ohms. Seem about right?

the 4 channel is 67% and the subwoofer channel is 71 % effcient.

Anyone know much about the U.S. Amps Xterminator 5500x? I saw one on ebay and it looks like it is pretty powerful, but i couldn't really find any specs online?
