Amp for 15' PG Titanium. $250 budget

[PollyCranopolis 10+ year member]

Just fried my RF1001 BD. Burnt up the coil and about 8 output transistors. Have no

idea how it happened. It just shut off and started smoking. Anyway, I've been

running the whole system off my RF 851x. 1 15 bridged, 2 sets of CDT comps. The

amp gets so **** hot I'm sure it will eventually fry itself. I'm looking for a new

sub amp to power 1 of my 2 15" PG Titaniums. I've decided to only use 1 sub, as my current setup of 2 is a little bit overkill for my 92 civic sedan. Looking for a

good quality sub amp that will provide a solid 500 watts to my 1 15". My price

range is about $250. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanx!

P.S. Called our local audio shop Sound Gallery, and they stated the most probable

reason the amp fried was because with no extra battery in the car, and even with a 1 Farad cap, the amp couldn't draw the needed power, kept spiking, and eventually

burnt out it's power supply. Sounds like a load of crap to me. Wouldnt I lose an

alternator first?

how much for your other PG titanium, if you are selling it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I had mines on a JBL BP600.1 IIRC.

I'm gona hold onto that second sub . Put it back in it's orginal box and sit on it, in case I ever damage the other one. Pretty rare sub if you ask me. Funny thing is, I got both of them off ebay, brand new 2 years ago for $100 bucks a piece. I'm thinking of pulling them both out and building a custom ported box for the one. As I menationed earlier, I'm looking for a good quality amp 1 sub.

If its a dual voicecoil, try a kicker zr360, if its a single, try a zr600, and turn the gains doooooooooooooooooooown. Plus that way, you can still add a 2nd sub again later, if you feel like it (those zr's are stable to 2ohm mono if I recall correctly)

If you have any wholesale places where you are you can pick up a Memphis 1000D for $275-300. I've got an older one with low THD. .01% @ 4ohms I think. Amp runs 300 watts @ 4 ohms, 600 watts @ 2 ohms, and 1100 watts @ 1 ohm. Very good class D amp. Pushed my 2 JL W6v2s big time! Now I have em on 2 Image Dynamic ID8s. Memphis is good stuff!

If you don't have a wholesale place anywhere, they'll run you $500 plus! Try ebay too.
