Are these amps the same?

[detroitdiesel 10+ year member]

First off i know that Lanzar is a pretty crappy brand, but for the price, at the very least you get what you pay for.

Anyway, i was looking at two that have the same ratings, and was wondering if they share the same main board, and if not, which is better? The two amps are the Lanzar Max MXA282, and the Lanzar Viberant Vibe286.

Thanks.

I'd stay away from both. What's your price range? If you have $175-$200, there are LOTS of amps to choose from.

Well i can get these for $120, and just want to know which is better, or if they are the same. My friend has a MXA282, and it sounds pretty good powering 2 Kicker 12 inch subs.

Garbage is still garbage. I wouldn't waste my money on it. I doubt anyone here knows if they are the same internally or not.

what is your final ohm load? like what do the subs wire down to? or what kind of subs do you have? and what is your exact budget. we can find you much better for the same price.

well i have 2 new Pioneer Premier pro 3002D2 DVC (2ohm per coil) 1000rms/3500max 12 inch subs. I can either wire them at 2x4ohm (each sub with 4 ohm load) or 1X2ohm

On a budget I would look into the audiopipe 1800 and run it at .5 if you have the electrical to back it up.

i have the same subs just the 4ohm models and im running them off a audioque 2200 you should give those subs at least 2000rms to get what you paid for out of them

i have experience with those subs, and they need some juice. There is no way in hell that those lanzar amps can properly push those subs. Not even close. Look for a used Audiopipe or Hifonics.

I bet you could find a used Bxi1208d for 120$ and I feel pretty sure saying that this amp will do about 900-1000rms. I highly doubt that the lanzar even does 500

I agree. I have exactly the same sub and was pushing 400 watts to it, sucked ***! Those subs are capable of putting out a decent amount of bass but if you starve they're gonna sound like crap. They need at least 800-1000 rms each. When I upgraded my amp (to an exile xi1500) I was amazed with how much of a difference it made. If you want those subs to pound, like they are capable of, spend some money and give em what they need.

I've seen these subs go for upwards of $300 each and as low as $150. I don't know what you paid for them (even on the low end that's $300 for the pair) but don't go budget on the amp or you're going to be unhappy.

Well are there any reasonably priced amps that will power my 2 pioneers?

BTW i found a vid on youtube of a Lanzar MAX282 powering some pioneer subs, don't know which model the subs are though.

save up some money, sometimes its not good to rush and buy cheap because you want it now.
