Help Me Pick a Budget Mono <$150

[Colt9699 10+ year member]

the kicker only does 200 watt rms

yes 200 @ 4 but it does 400 @ 2 and are usually under rated.

my vote is for the Kicker as it is the best quality amp of the bunch, then maybe the MTX would be my 2nd choice.

Personally I use an MTX (421d) mono now and have nothing but good things to say about it so far.

they're mono's, but there's nothing about them being class D.

Rev, did you get a chance to use the 421d?

 

[revrider1 5,000+ posts]

Yep, I used it for a few days. Didnt need it for my new install, but now I need it back. I have owned 5 MTX 4250D's and 2 421D's and regret selling all of them. Dam, I wish I would have kept it...Lol

kicker or kenwood

I have narrowed down my choices for a class-D budget mono amp. The amp needs to be less than $150 shipped and must produce at least 300W @ 2ohms. The amp also needs to be digital since I am running this in a 2001 Civic that has a weak stock alternator. The amp will be powering a CDT HD-1020 subwoofer in a ported cabinet that will probably be 1.3cu ft @ 32Hz. The sub is 400W RMS and 800W peak. I don't need to pound the sub I just want a cheap amp that will get the job done. What do you guys think?
