My buddy has a 4000 watt peak 2000 watt rms lanzar amp, anybody got an opinion on them for powering 2 memphis mojo's? Also would an opti work better, or are they both crap?

Lanzar Addz Dbzzz

No, but really. I don't really remember. There's mixed reviews about Lanzars... but since it's not a SD, people will probably flame it.

Trash. The only Lines that do rated power are the Opti drives or the Vibe 1200d/1800d. Other than that you'll have a piece of ish. The Vibe 286, I believe will do close to rated, but thats only the older models, not the new shiny ones.

I've had the Vibe 1800d, and it was very reliable and did rated power, a little over 1200@1ohm

the old school ones were great amps. new ones = pyramid

Once you cut through all the hating...the 286 will give you 800-900w for about $150, new, with a warranty. No matter how much chrome or lights they put on it, that's not a bad deal.

It's the fact that they chrome and light it up to please the average 15 year old, and put ridiculous ratings on it, that results in Lanzar "junk".

You are correct but based on the lanzar spec sheet he is looking at

2x300Wrms at 4ohms

2x450Wrms at 2ohms

Given that the amps are at best 70% efficient you may not even see those number.

But if you are on a budget you have to start somewhere, but I would say save your money and buy a nice mono block that does its rated power and some. I think everyone here would be willing to give you advice on other reputable brands for what you are looking to spend.
