I found one for 850 plus shipping, but he couldn't ship right away and decided not to sell in the end....didnt you say your MM4000 was 4000@2 ohm....because that seems that it would cause less strain if I could run it at .7 for burps instead of .35

yes its 4000rms at 2 ohm mono

all one has to do is do a search for my powerbass 3000 thread to see WHY they have problems with literally falling apart.

As far as amps to consider, there are a ton of used ones in the classifieds, im sure one will fit your bill.

Personally id stay away from the Autotek line for competition, 80% of the people i know who run them for competition have "autoprotect" problems //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif .... and their scores reflect it.

I also own a Z1, and a powerbass so I think I have perspective on them, and ive used mm4000's in compettion before, so im not just spouting any of this blindly or in any bias. Id not buy a Z1 ever again, ive had nothing but issues with mine.

hifonics is worse than autotek about the protection issue

 

[matrxx dude 5,000+ posts]

and i have not had any protect problems with my autotek's yet,but i did with the cyclops and herc

 

[squeak12 10+ year member]

I think I'm going to go with the Hifonics , but still not sure of whether I should get a cyclops or 2 hercules.
