Need Amp Suggestions Please.

wow that audio technix looks like one little bad amp. 120amp fuse rated. Wonder if it capable of 1000watts no issues. Never heard of the brand. BTW, Anyone else see that $7000 Memphis mad max 18" on the bottom of that ebay ad? WOW the insanity. JBL is fine stuff btw. Very fine stuff.

Uhh that Mad Max ad is a bunch of horseshit. Nowhere close to worth that much. As for amp fusing, don't let it be the judge for how much power an amp puts out. It's actually a part of the marketing techniques, so a company will over-fuse their amps, something goes wrong, and the amp blows anyway. That was some smart R&D right there, huh?

Thanks for the heads up. The mosfets looked pretty nice. There are so many wanna be fly by night companys now you don't know who to trust. $7k for a 18" LOL, I could buy a load of SMD's for that.

LOL

I want something good that will last me for a few years. Another problem I have with buying used is that I won't have the cash in hand to buy the products for another week or two. That's the main reason why I wanted to buy new.

you need to remember this... YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!! spend the xtra $$ the first time and you will get plenty of good use out of your equipment... lol if its installed correctly

Thanks for all your help! In the end I decided to go with the JBL GTOEZ and the PPI BK320

Honestly Im iffy about a lot of things till I see them in real world use and also inclined to try new things. I noticed there are no ballast resistors on that pcb. At least that's what I think there called, The white block resistors you commonly see on amp boards. What does it use in place of them? Or is that a more common thing on class a/b amps? Trying to get more informed on amp technology. How long you been running yours for now?

Yeah, it looks like a well made amp. And I see the bottom one has a sound alarm which is probably for trouble alerts. I would not hesitate to try one. But the ebay ad is completely different. What models are them 2?

 

[mclerico83 5,000+ posts]

thats the at1200.1 the bottom one,

Audio Technix 1200 1 Amp Amplifier 1200W RMS 2400W Max Class D 1 Ohm Stable | eBay

does 1800rms at 14v's

Ct Sounds 125 4 Amp Amplifier 125W RMS 250W Max Class A B 4 Channel 2 Ohm | eBay

the top is the ct125.4 which is not discounted like the audio technix label its at msrp like all the ct brand. the audiot echnix amps are just on closout prices to clear the old names stock

ill be quite honest I am interested in trying that bottom one. Not now. I just scored nicely on craigslist a used jl 300/4 for my mids and highs. But you give me a few weeks I have your contact. I am very inclined to try out that bottom amp.

which one the at 1200, its not for sale but u can try lol

 

[JISINSANE3]

both those board differ significantly. The bottom one I would get no problem. You say there both the same amp, Do them 2 extra ferrite chokes on the bottom one replace all them ballast resistors on the upper on?

 

[mclerico83 5,000+ posts]

I don't know what you ate talking about what 2 amps

 

[JISINSANE3]

mistake, Never mind. your last sentence I thought you said they were both the same amp but I misunderstood. I like that bottom amp how much are they again? the bottom 1200 one? $200? I may try it to be honest. Could you do a video of it in operation? And your about 2 hours from me Id come pick it up if you are a seller. Id like to see it in person. Or do you know of a reseller in central florida?

if you could PM me if you know of a seller in central florida. Instead of dragging out this post.
