8k-10k amp

[Jduane]

Looking for an amp @ 8-10k at 1.34ohm. Daily but I listen like I'm in a comp.

I've looked at crossfire, taramps.

What are others in that price range?

And why is taramps so inexpensive, I know they have strict power requirements.

Crossfire 8k or American bass 1100.1 would get my vote

Here's a pretty good video about Korean vs Brazilian amplifiers.

Should explain the cost difference for you.

Here a taramps 50k only $1500 Amazon.com : Taramp's T50KW Tara 1-Ohm Class D 50000 Watt Car Amplifier : Car Electronics

Here's a 1100.1 $2500 Amazon.com : American Bass VFL 1100.1 Class D 12, 500w SPL Amplifioer : Car Electronics

Not that I could power the 50k, but I'd rather buy the 50k. I was thinking the $1000-$1500 range.

Great vid. I have some research to do.

Is it worth going Brazilian with a 14v setup?

What are your current amps wired at you might not see a gain going to a single 8k at 1.3ohms

Now I have 3 amps 1ohm each but only get 40v before it clips, so @ 1600w each

Wired that high the taramps should put out more power than the xfire after rise. I'd look into two 5ks wired at .7 each (strapped at 1.34)

Id run a Korean amp for daily use. Call crossfire and talk to roger or call American bass and talk to bob. Both amps sell for around $1600

If you know what you're doing and have the electrical I'd say Brazilian, but then again I do not know your experience or level of comfort. I know I am going Brazilian this summer and there are several guys on here that swear by Brazilian for daily rides. But if your electrical can support a big Korean and you have the budget then go for it as they'll most likely last longer.

Could I run the 50k or a 20k amp and just crack the gain open. For the $ that's a good deal and I'm assuming only using half the amps potential would be better for the electrical and amp but could be way off. The only reason I bought 3 separate amps was for resale and if one blew it would be cheap to fix. And yes any other amp I get I'll upgrade electrical also.

And thanks

I've learned more from you guys in the last 2 month than I could have imagined

A lot of those high output Brazilian amps are high voltage good luck with that. I wouldn't run anything larger than the 8k. If you really want 10k in that $1200 area get 2 5k Koreans and bridge at 1.34ohm. Any 8k or 10k Korean amp is going to need to be wired low to get even close to that power the Brazilian wired to 1.34 you might see 4500w from and can't be wired low.

You do realize the Taramps T50.0KW is a 240VDC amp right??

Get the Taramps HD-8000 and wire to 1.3ohms.

But seeing your signature I wouldn't do **** until you upgrade your electrical. I don't know why you are even trying to run 3 Hifonics 2400s.
