they are not available yet, but will be pretty soon.

Denim, as far as I heard, alphasonik amps, they give out what they claim, but no more as bench tests here have shown. or maybe the one they tested was a dud.

Oh alright I guess I took it the wrong way.

Maybe you guys should read up on the new usaci rules. There new rules say that they take the max power at the lowest ohm load the manufacturer rates the amp at and divide that to get the 4 ohm power, unless the manufacturer rates it higher at 4 ohms. So a 1000 watt amp @ 1 ohm rated at 100 @ 4 ohm will actually be considered a 250 watt amp at 4 ohms because of the new rules.

How about the old school Soundstream Class A amps. I think they made a 5.0, 6.0 and 10.0. The 10.0 was rated at 50x2 at 4omhs I think, but it produced 1000x1 at 1/2ohm mono. Great amps if you can find them.

how about some old optidive amps?

There is a 50c on ebay right now.

Rated at 25x2 @ 4 ohms stereo.

Does about 1kw at 1/2 ohm mono.

Just bought 2 Kicker xs100's, hopefully they'll push the inhumans.

I called all the Kicker retailers in Houston, turned out a flea market style place sells all kinds of old stuff, dude still had brand new chrome RF amps, round solos, ect. Got a 18" Solo X and 2 100's for $1150 + tax (bye, bye tax return).

dam good find, i'm sure you'll have some fun.

do the xs 100 have a birth sheet with them, the shop down the road from me said they put out 1400+wrms at 1ohm or 1/2ohm.

Yes, both of them were 12xx watts. If they are anything like my 1200.1, Ill be happy. The solo X is going to be sitting for a good while, i dont know if anyones ever actually read the manual but they put some humor and stupid diagrams in it, pretty funny I guess. I didnt have intentions on getting the 18, this other shop quoted me like 700 and I was about to get that, I told the dude and he made the offer and I took it.

The X and 2 9.0's (if I can get them for a realistic price) will go in an Aspire a buddy and I bought for a pack of Newports and impound fees.
