Most power for least amount of $...(18" MT)

[Rodeo91 10+ year member]

I had 2 JBL 1200.1's and I think one is toast. I want to get 1 big amp for my 18" MT, therefore I can add another amp down the road when I get my 2nd MT. What amp would you choose for the most power for the smallest amount of money? The sub is a dual 1.4. I was thinking Orion 2500d, but it is kind of expensive. Viper 2500d maybe, Visonik 4000d, Kicker zx2500.1.

If I can get 2 amps that will pwer it for cheaper then maybe I will do that. Maybe some Power Acoustic a3000's or Lanzar Opti2000d's.

My plan is to get a 2nd dual 1.4 MT 18" so hopefully 1 amp now and when I get the other sub, I'll add a 2nd amp.

there is actually someone on the forum powering an 18" MT with 2 a3000's at .7 ohms. He seems to have no issues and it wang. I would go with that if funds are limited..

So you think 1 a3000 would power an 18MT at .7? How much power do they do at .7?

I would be able to power it yes, but those MT's are power hungry. They would need more than just 1 to get going nicely. I have heard a few people say, that MT's on 1200 rms for a daily driver is loud enough. If i were you, i would get the 2 and strap them.

the most power for the dollar is clearly Boss or Crunch amps

they double as flamethrowers when you turn up the volume, guranteed win at any car show

The PA puts out around 2200@1 ohm, at .7 it'll probly be givin it around 2500...

Hmm...maybe for now I'll get one then when I get my 2nd MT I'll add another so...

2 MT 18"s with 2 PA a3000's at .7 each?
