Looking for 3k rms.. On a budget

[BSchrowang]

Well ive gathered enough funds that im ready to begin my new build!

Going to run 2 American Bass XFL 15's and need an amp to bring them to life

Im looking for an amp with a minimum of 2500 rms at 1 ohm. But i would like to keep it cheap for now. Preferably under $350, and i know there are not many options for that budget and i know that a sundown or cresendo would be better. Im looking at the cheaper options and plan on upgrading to better equipment later on. Electrical system has 200 amp alt and 1 or 2 extra batteries. Ive been thinking about the Planet Audio but would like some input.

Planet Audio Big Bang 4000

Audio APCL3000.1

Soundstream T1.6000DL

Any suggestions or thoughts are appreciated!

The Soundstream is a solid amp. I run one, HOWEVER i would get the previous model of it, the TA1.3000d. The internal parts got cheaper with the newer model.

Also if you have right sub coils the Audiopipe APCL-3k would work also

I could order the XFL's in dual 2 ohm coils and wire them to 2 ohms and run the audiopipe amp. Does that seem like a good combo?

Id stay away from the AP and find something used.

Get a couple car audio bargain 1600.1, for the price there hard to beat. I believe there strappable and I think there less than 200 new

the only good amp posted so far is the alpine imo

but there's other options that arent bad.

id consider the cab 1600.1's if you want new. i have a used taramps hd3000 within your budget that you may want to consider but you'd be clamping around 2kw rms after rise (same with any other 3k amp, although brazilians tend to do better with rise).

What are the specs on the Taramps HD3000.1? I found it new online for 360 bucks shipped. Is it a true 3k rms? And where can you get the CAB 1600.1? On the site it says its a pre order?

Instead of cheaping out on a big amp to gain a dB or two you'll rarely use and barely hear why not make your temporary amp something decent that's a little less powerful?

The AP and Alpine are not good fits for 1 ohm.
