Budget friendly class D amps fsd/Crescendo ?

[Dan B 10+ year member]

Hey I'm looking for some good budget friendly class D amps l. I have been looking at the Crescendo symphony and FSD amps. I need both 1 and 4 channel amps. Looking for around 1500w-2000w for the 1 channel and about 150w-200w per/ch for the 4. Can anyone give some advice on these two brands or suggest something else. I have some new zapco studio x in my truck but want to try something different for my car.

Budget $600-$800

Thanks

Had a crescendo symphony 1500 in my jeep that I was very pleased with it, very efficient and fairly small footprint.

Synergy 15.1 and 150.4

Twisted 1.8 and 150.4

The fsd and crescendo are good too

twisted stuff does look good., look at CAB1600 $199 internals look great tested at 1600rms 1ohm (they say) http://www.caraudiobargain.com/new-cab-1600-1-amplifier/

If you arent wiring below rated impedence, and have respectable electrical, you could probably get away with chinese over korean. I personally prefer Korean. But you could save alot of money if you went with a skar lp2k and lp 150.4 for example

How can I tell if they are Korean or Chinese amps ? Are any of the ones listed in this thread Korean ?

Everything in this thread is korean except the cab and skar lp line (skar sk is korean).

would any of these amps be more efficient then the other i know they are all class D witch is better then A/b but is there ones that are more efficient between class D amps. are the Korean amp board better then the Chinese for efficiency

that cab amp holds the best budget amp title at the moment imo

So the shar audio sk v1 are Korean amps ? They look nice and are fairly cheep. I read in a different thread that the Shar v1 is better then the v2. Is this true ? Because the v1 is cheaper

Any of the amps listed so far are going to be so close in efficiency you would be hard pressed to notice a difference.

Korean amps will hold value a lot longer so keep that in mind if you ever plan on selling.

Imo the crescendo, synergy, and Twisted amps will hold value better than the others. With that said I run FSD and love them.

I would grab whichever is the cheapest as they will all make rated power.

I might be interested in the 2600. How can I get in touch with him ? FSD is made by audio legion correct ? Are they discontinued because I don't see them on there site
