Best/cheapest way to get 3000+watts?

[RipDaJacka]

im selling My whole setup to do 2 hdc3 12's when they come out.. I wanna put at least 1500rms to them... I am getting an Iraggi 200 amp alt and a Kinetik 2000 or 2400 or something powerful... I Keep it at $500 or less

My favorite option is the Autotek MM3000.1 or maybe a Autotek MM4000 (refurbed w/ warranty) both will hit me at the $500 mark easily.. But i was wondering.. What if I Ran 2 Hifonics 1606D's?... I dont want amperage draws that could black out a city.. so which would be most effeciant and powerful? This will be a beefy Daily Driver system with hopes of doing 145db at the dash.

any other amps Reccomended other than the Autoteks, Hifonics?

What about the Ma HK4000D and the HK802SX?

the 802sx will do 3300-3600 rms at 1ohm at 14v.. but I dont really know about this...and who can chime in on the 4000d?

ma= no no in my book

 

[RipDaJacka]

why the earthquake? what makes it so compelling? The big red bulky case?

whats the beef with MA? I think the amps are attractive with the digital screens and Mesh and chrome design

 

[andytb 10+ year member]

what do you mean bulky? that amp is far from bulky

who cares what an amp looks like

Best/cheapest

should not be used in the same sentence.

good point

 

[RipDaJacka]

well next time I will say "COST EFFICIENT".. Why the Earthquake tho? I was looking at them tonight.. I was sort of wanthing a black/chrome theme in the trunk..

I can get 2 1606d's for a lil over $400.. $200 for one bnib locally and a used for around $200 shipped.. I have never ventured into the dual sub amp setup tho

i say earthquake bc i have two and they get ran daily at one ohm not modded (they are 3000 watts at 2 ohm) and they handle well and ive heard they put out around rated power

The HK802SX is extremely inefficient - it's listed by MA Audio as a high current draw amplifier and it will **** your electrical dry to put out rated power.

So that's a no go in my book for you.

 

[RipDaJacka]

thats cool man.. what electrical are you running to them? and how is their Current draw? and estimated RMS at 1 ohm on good electrical?

 

[RipDaJacka]

okay.. i had an offer trade+ cash for my Memphis for the 802sx.. just checking my options

i have 5 batts in the back stock alt. 2 of my batts are group 4D they seem very efficient no dimming
