In need of an amp!!

[dustinr 10+ year member]

Ellos.

Yeah I'll be ordering my 15 inch Type-R shortly and I really need something to push it good for daily use. The rated RMS for the sub is 750watts and I will be throwing it in a ported enclosure. I haven't decided on whether I'm going to order a DVC 2 ohm or 4 ohm. So my options are still open amp wise //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I am really looking for something around the $175-250 mark BUT I might be able to adjust my budget up to $300. Anything that is really cost-effective.. sounds clean and power conservative.. would be nice! I really don't wanna have to upgrade my alt or battery YET. I use to have a Memphis Audio 1000W mono amp, and it made my dome light dim alittle.. so I should be ok.

I'm wanting (and hoping) to find an amp to give a little more then the RMS wattage for the subwoofer (around 850). Any suggestions/info will be gladly appreciated and please only suggest amps you've had previous experience with!

Thanks //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Possibilties are endless man... there are so many 1k watt amps out here in that price range.... are we talking new amps, used or both.

Yeah I've done alot of searching.. I just haven't owned enough amps to know whats good and not. I keep hearing good things about Viper and Directed Audio. I've also looked into a Memphis Audio Power Reference 1000.1, although they seem to be a lil more then what I wanna spend //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/bawling.gif.6287aa5d1d447c8af063fc9466e822ef.gif

There are so many I dont even know where to begin, check out the 1kwatt amp thread, research some and then once you have a list of about 5 then post those. Or at least thats what I'd do.

Never had any new orion stuff.... loved my old gear. I have heard many bad things about the new stuff though. I can't remember who was saying it though. Most of em them could have easily been from user error(and probably were), but Im not sure.

Someone post a link of where to get a 1200d refurb for like $150, is that what you are looking at? If so that is a fokin steal of a deal man.

Haha, yeah I might go that route.. I'd just like to get some opinons on it first.. see how people like the amp //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif and Hopefully someone has bought a refurb off of ikesound on here to tell me I'm not getting ripped.

I've seen a ton of posts with that exact link in them. I'm sure there is already tons of info about this amp and that company on the forums. Search up 1100d... I know you can do it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif.
