Class A/B high power amps for subs

But, how will you get a good quality amp at 500 / 600 USD rated at 2400 W RMS at 1 ohm load.

I got one off this site. Granted, it blew up quickly lol There are plenty amps at that power level, including SQ 2200D ($429 brand new shipped) that can be had at 500-600 price point. I got mine for $500. There's also a large used market. Essentially, it's not hard.

Welcome to the big boys.

Amplifiers - SSA STORE

browse around bro, plenty of choices to pick from thats very high quality built and its much more efficient and less of a power hog then fosgates. Check out the subs too. These are just a few of the many good competition level quality stuff out there.

Most of these amps are proven to be half ohm wiring stable too for daily purposes.

Translation?

Audiobahn has always been bottom of the barrel Chinese garbage. You're doing something dreadfully wrong if that's your benchmark for a quality piece of electronics.

How does that company still manage to charge so much for crap and people eat it up.

Shiny chrome and lights. The people to whom they're marketing that junk are like magpies and are just naturally covetous of shiny things.

Both of you are just too helpful. This is exactly what helped me. Not. I've got a Chinese made Arc. Is that like middle of the barrel Chinese garbage? Just want to make sure I understand the rating system here. Maybe our Chinese fridges needed to be swapped for American or Korean ones?

This is exactly the kind of nonsense that makes people not want to ask questions.

I guess it depends on the brand and not the country of origin. iPhones are made in China too, but that does not make my Korean made Samsung phone better in quality.

You asked how you get that power for the price. I answered it.

I understand RF's price is on the higher side; but the RF setups (Mono amp+SW) I've heard sounded pretty amazing. In some cases, it does justify the price tag.

If you really look at RF amps, efficiency, real world power, lack of a decent crossover, lack of a gain knob(boost only), no phase shift control... They are far behind. The subs are pure garbage covered up in useless plastic. Weak overweight soft parts, no excursion..
