5 channel amplifier suggestion...

[dB-r 10+ year member]

The Belle has a 16-ST1000D Class D subwoofer stage, pretty powerful little amp, equivalent to a SAE/SAZ-1000D. I don't know anything about the Power 1000 25 to Life.... I have the Punch 150 25 to Life.... very nice amp BTW.... need to sell it though I have no use for it really other than to look at it every now and then and think about the good old days and the original Punch 150 and Punch 150HD.

It doesn't look like the others either. I never ran Fosgate even though I worked at a shop that sold them LOL I ran Soundstream ..got heckled every other day about it....thing is in the mid 90's SS was imo better than rf then in the late 90's RFs punch series was no longer "as great" and SS made the 10.0 and they all blew up LOL

I have a Memphis and Audison dealer where I live. I was pitched the idea of running a 5ch amp for highs and lows. One the memphis belle and the other audison srx5. I think the memphis would be better for a sub. What do you all think.

I have one of those in my Mustang right now. It is also underrated.... If I can find where I put my birthsheet, I will edit the post and link to it!

ETA: The birthsheet as promised. Well, assuming we can believe Rockford Fosgate //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Memphis would have more than double the sub channel power. Depending on how underated the Audison is could almost be 4x the power.

theres no way my nine.5 only puts out 600 rms @ 1 ohm

sorry, i meant power 1000, i have a 150 now... typo

Anyway I would be SHOCKED if the memphis could touch the fosgate

My birthsheet was 125 x4 @ 4ohms and 975 @1ohm or something very close to that i believe.

DLS A7?? Maybe not quite 1000 on the mono channel, but i'm sure more than the 600 it's rated at.....

Memphis generally does a little more than rated power and its 1100 x 1 on the sub.
