Best way to get 1200RMS @ 3 ohms?

[amartin_72]

Without spending 400 for a 1000/1 or a huge 1ohm stable amp, what do you guys reccomend for me? I need 1200 at 3 ohms for a 15 inch GTI. Im sure some of you know of the perfect amp for me.

I was thinking along the lines of a 1500-1800 RMS@ 2ohm amp but I would like some more ideas.

Thanks alot guys.

I want to spend around 250 shipped.

I am 95% sure a W7, if not, 99.5% sure something JL.

JBL uses D6 coils on their subs. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

two smaller monoblocks strapped is what I'd do.

Thanks for the quick replys guys keep them coming I know there arent many options and I just sucks having to have this much power at 3 ohms.

Its pretty hard to find anything that does that much power at 4 ohms besides the regulated jls and phoenix golds.

Ok so I guess ill also take reccomendations of 500 to 800w RMS strappable monoblocks under 125 shipped?

Very tight budget for the power you're looking for IMO.

hmm No tantrums on ebay, I assume there pretty rare anyways.

jbl bpx1100.1?

 

[amartin_72]

Yeah but I hate to have to spend more than 300 for only 1200watts.

Wow the bpx's are pricey too.
