8000rms which amp?

[loudcaprice5]

I’m going to run 4 sound qubed hdx12s. I’m looking to run roughly 2k to each sub. Price isn’t a problem. Just need a dependable amp for daily use. Thanks for the help.

Doesn't qubed sell one of those Chinese soundigital knockoff full bridge 8K's? Hard to beat for the price if you buy from one of the companies who will honor a warranty.

Have no clue? I’ll buy whatever as long as it’s dependable

There's an 8K full bridge amp being mass produced in China that's a knockoff of Soundigital. Sundown, Alphard, Qubed, etc. etc. etc. have all sold them and I think Robot Underground was selling them un-badged for super cheap. Shop around and weigh cost difference with how likely that particular brand is to be around to honor the warranty over the next year or two and go from there. I'm using the Sundown branded ones because I live within a half hour drive of an authorized dealer/repair shop that I know will take care of me if anything happens, but Sundown isn't putting anything different inside of them as any of the other """brands""".

Sadly if you buy a legit 8K half bridge amp, the first time it breaks outside warranty and the repair could potentially cost you the same as MSRP on one of these Soundigital knockoffs so for me 650$ or whatever on the Sundown for guaranteed 2 years of 8K is a pretty good buy and if it breaks this year (and can't be repaired for cheap) I'll just throw it away and buy another one.

I haven’t bought the subs yet. Want to find an amp first

 

[loudcaprice5]

I would prolly want 8k at 2 ohms. So I can wire my subs to 1 ohm. Don’t want to loose tons of power with ohm rise. Or am I wrong here?

If $ isn't a problem you can go with a Salt, Ruthless, any Korean half bridge. I know several guys that run the full bridge amps either Chinese or Brazilian. Slapz car audio is buying them and selling them cheap from China. Imo if you want dependable your going to look at a half bridge Korean amp, they take a lot of abuse. That's just my opinion.

Those slap amps look like a sundown clone

Another vote for Sundown Salt amplifier here. They are supposed to be top notch for quality and durability.

Take a serious look at the Ruthless amplifiers Pop posted. Half-bridge Korean and built like a tank. Great amplifiers and nowhere near the cost of the Sundown Salts.
