If you had to pick one of these 2 amps what would it be?

Well I am on the search for a amp to power a RE SRi-D2(RMS: 300 watts) and after searching I have come to the decision between these 2 amplifiers. They are actually pretty fairly priced for my daily driver build. That is about my budget for an amplifier right now ($60 or so).

I think either one will be good for my budget build.

Option 1:

Crunch P1 600.2 Power One 600W Max 2-Channel Car Amplifier/Amp

* Power One Series 2-Channel Class A/B Car Amplifier* RMS Power Rating:

o 4 ohms: 75 watts x 2 chan.

o 2 ohms: 150 watts x 2 chan.

o Bridged, 4 ohms: 300 watts x 1 chan.

* SEPP Class A/B analog amplifier

* Pulse Width Modulated MOSFET power supply

* LED power (green) and protect (red) indicators

* Variable Bass Boost (0 to +12 dB bass boost at 45 Hz)

* Slow un-mute soft start turn-on

* 2/1 channel operation

* Speaker-level inputs with signal sensing for automatic turn-on

* Preamp RCA outputs to daisy chain multiple amps

* 3-Way System Protection circuitry (thermal, overload, and speaker short protection)

* Heavy duty aluminum alloy heatsink for extreme heat dissipation

* Nickel-plated RCA level inputs

* Nickel-plated screw terminals

* Input sensitivity:

o Level: 200mV-6V

* Variable high-pass filter (60-12,000 Hz, 12 dB/octave)

* Variable low-pass filter (30-250 Hz, 12 dB/octave)

* Damping factor: >180

* Frequency response: 10-45,000 Hz

* Dimensions: 7-7/8"L x 9-7/8"W x 2-1/16"H

* 8-gauge power and ground wiring is required for installation. Contact us for information regarding a discount on select amplifier kits when purchased together with this amplifier.

* Authorized Internet Dealer

* 1-year Manufacturer's warranty

Option 2:

Autotek MM125.2-RB (LS-mm1252-RB) - Sonic Electronix

* Autotek Mean Machine Series 2-Channel Class A/B Car Amplifier* RMS Power Rating:

o 4 ohms: 125 watts x 2 chan.

o 2 ohms: 160 watts x 2 chan.

o Bridged, 4 ohms: 320 watts x 1 chan.

* MOSFET power supply

* LED power indicators (green/power, red/protect)

* Bass Thrust - Variable Bass Equalization (0-18 dB @ 45 Hz)

* TCID (Twin Coil Isolation Design)

* 2-Channel operation

* 4-way protection (DC, short, thermal, overload)

* Aluminum autoTek illuminated shroud

* ASPS (Auto-Step Power Supply)

* Heavy duty aluminum alloy heatsink for extreme heat dissipation

* Chrome-plated RCA level inputs

* Chrome-plated screw terminals

* Variable High-Pass (10-1200 Hz)

* Variable Low-Pass (50-150 Hz @ 24 dB)

* Subsonic Filter (10-1200 Hz @ 24 dB/octave)

* Frequency Response: 10-30,000 Hz

* Dimensions: 10-1/2"L x 10-1/4"W x 2-1/2"H

* 4-gauge power and ground wiring is required for installation. Contact us for information regarding a discount on select amplifier kits when purchased together with this amplifier.

* Authorized Internet Dealer

* 90-Day Manufacturer's warranty

Get the crunch amp.

 

[PaulD 10+ year member]

neither

 

[n2caraudio 10+ year member]

neither

Agreed, this would be better. 200 watts x 2 a 4 ohms rated at 12.5 volts

Nevermind, I just saw your budget.

I called Sonic Electronix and they kept telling me to get something else besides either of these amps.

They said both are overrated on the RMS scale and I had to find a amp that was CEA Compliant.

Also they said that the Crunch amp goes into Protect mode for no reason alot, but the rep had no answer why

it would go into protect mode. He just kept trying to get me to buy higher dollar amps and CEA Compliant amps.

Are they trying to just up sell me to something else?

My 150w rated ZED Crunch puts out 330w @ 4ohm, if that doesn't impress you then you have a vagina. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif
