How much power do you need? At what ohm load do you need that power? WHAT IS YOUR BUDGET?

 

[unique_187]

1 Ohm Mono

Each Is 1000 W

3000 W Total

A Little Less Is Ok

400-900

There aren't too many amps bigger than 2500w, and even fewer in that price range.

I think your best bet would be to find three smaller amps and run one to each sub.

You'll never find two amps that are strappable into a 1ohm load.....that would mean each amp would have to carry a .5ohm load.

Actaully the old Orion HCCA from a few years ago ran perfectly stable at 0.5 ohm

Ok, you are right....I shouldn't have said "never", but they are very few and far between.
