Help a brother pick an amp

x600.1 listed fuse size is 60 amp. So should be about 60A max.

Another thing to consider is the x600.1 is very underrated. Most of the birthsheets list almost 900 watts (870 or so, usually). You may see one with a birthsheet in the 600's, those are wrong.

I am in about the same dilemma. I have about $200 to spend so far, and am looking around. Definately considering the Xenon 600.1, a friend has the x400.1 and it rocks. I can't imagine how insane another 200w is going to be. I will be running it into a 4 ohm single 12" sub for now, so the Xenon's are really attractive.

You should be OK with the x600.1 on your stock electrical.

The BP1200.1 will be a little taxing on the stock electrical if you crank it often. That amp is a BEAST. I have heard a couple of them run, and they are impressive. I've heard guys on the 'net say they are not the most accurate amps out there, and they like to burn up speakers. But I also know of a guy with one that's had it for years with a pair of Alpine Type-S subs on it, and he beats on them pretty hard.

I used to run a Soundstream Reference 1000s and a a/d/s/ PQ20 in my '86 Blazer. Stock electrical system. Max power draw was somewhere around 150 amps. I would blow 120 amp fuses, had a 150 in there for a while. Only blew it once at a SPL competition. As long as I didn't crank it up while idling, it was OK. It would drain the battery if listening loud enough for long enough, you could just sit and watch the volt meter fall down..
