Choosing an amp help

[Name'sDEEZ]

I just got my bud his components and sub delivered today along with 2 amps but he wants to go with just 1 amp to do the all the work. My question is what amp could handle 4 alpine components that go 80wrms and 240w peak each and a skar 15' 2ohm dvc that does 600rms and 1200w peak?

Hes on a 200$ budget because he has no way of returning the 2 amps that got delivered because dogs are funny

Thats a pretty unrealistic budget for a 5 ch amplifier with that kind of power needed/requested. May be better off trying to find a USED amplifier off Ebay. Sale the two amps and use those funds towards a decent 5ch amp even. I myself prefer an amplifier for mids, one for highs and one for sub duty minimum, or a 2-4 ch and a sub amp.

His sub is a DVC2 prob serve better on a 1ohm load for that sub but going be hard find that on a 5 ch for the budget for sure That Apex is Nice but almost $100 bucks over budget

For the Price and looking at the specs. and Knowing that Big D did a Amp Dyno on the Brand. Id prob go with the Harmony to be honest for the Budget. Other than that ...Sale the other amps and gain some funds and get a better rated 5 ch. and or do some searching on Ebay man. Not much out there right now to be honest

I had a similar question and that CAB amp is hard to beat.

As far as specs go. Sure looks like a Bread winner for the money. I havent tried any Cab amps yet, but have seen some at shows and they do well. I Havent seen the 5 ch in operation yet. I think this one would do great for the money. Its been Dyno Tested also.

But for the $200 budget/ slightly over budget.. That Harmony should do fine

I've been out of the game too long to be of much help. The reason I came back here is to looking for a 5 channel in the ~$250 range. If that Harmony hits ~80% of it's rated RMS, it's a hell of deal.

I had an 800.1 harmony...I ran it pretty hard and never had heat issues plus it made rated power...for a cheap amp I really liked it...can't speak on the rest of their amps but if needed something more budget friendly, I wouldn't hesitate to grab something of theirs...

Lots of people run Taramps usually without any issues. I have a 3k that does great. Im not sure they offer a 5 ch at this time. Id have to do some research/looking around as you can do as well. But I havent seen a 5 ch offered yet in theyre line up
