Budget Full Range Class D

[Haunz 10+ year member]

I need an amp for a campsite I'm setting up out in a large bush lot. It will be powered by two group 29 flooded deep cycle batteries I bought yesterday. The batteries will in turn be charged by a pair of 255 watt solar panels I am buying tomorrow along with a charge controller from china. The batteries can also be boosted by car or tractor as needed.

I'd prefer a budget amp, but would pay more if I knew the amp was very efficient.

Will be powering two 8ohm house speakers or PA bins. Haven't picked exactly what I'm going to run as I have lots to choose from, but it will most likely be 8ohms.

Would like to get 100 watts per side at 8ohms, possibly more depending on how the system voltage holds up and if I add more batteries.

To start I will be using a Lanzar OptiDrive full range D amp that IIRC is 350 watts x 2 at 4ohms when bridged. Problem is this amp belongs to another system. I'd buy another but they aren't made anymore.

Does anyone have any suggestions ????

What you can do is buy a two channel amp and bridge it to both speakers in parallel, so it would be 4 ohms.

Something like this:

MB Quart DA1-1200.2 1200W 2-Channel Discus Series Full Range Car Amplifier

bridge it to get 600@4 and just run your speakers parallel and eachwill see 300w.

I second the 600.2, pretty wicked for a lil 2 channel with lots of heft for what it is.

I third the PPI 600.2. Hard to beat it or the 900.4 for clean output / power...

Taramps would work great and be efficient. There's the HD800 2 ohm that would be 200w at 8 ohm.

Probably should be specified I planned on finding a 4ch amp and bridging it down. Currently looking at the PPI 900.4, and the MB Quart Discus 600.4, although I don't see the MB Quart actually say it's class D.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Taramps will be most efficient. PPI class d would be my second choice.
