Subs: 3 12 JLW7s in a box built to JL specs 1000 watts rms each

So far I'm looking at;

Mean machine MM4000.1d for $450

Fosgate t2500bd for $650

Exile 5000 for $750

Crescendo 3500 for $400

Powerbass xta5000d for $650

Skar 2500.1 for $480

Xxx6000 for $575

Vfl 450.1 for $900 (1 week old still has warranty)

Which one should I go for and why?

no skar shady owner

fosgate to much money for 2500 rms power hungry to

xxx makes power at 16 volts

exile i know the owners and have talked with them about this amp

cresendo a lot of guys like these amp , but everyone i know that has had them in the last 2 years sold them very fast upon getting them new ?

powerbass xta great amp stable to .5 if you have the power to back it

mm 4000.1 again a great amp if you have the power to back it ,not 1 ohm stable tho ,we have a bnib one at the shop

vfl is my choice ,its a monster .25 stable on burps and these are almost bullet proof

these are my experiences with all of these amps ,some i've had some my friends have had

The crescendo for that steal of a price, that's usually what the 3kwps go for maybe a little higher.

I know several guys that have been running Crescendo amps for a few years with no issues. Hard to beat for that price.

Pretty sure the mean machine is a 2ch amp, so might not work for your VC config.
