need at around 700 true rms at 2 ohms

[deondm18]

Setting up a system in my girls car, i have two 350 rms explode subs, which are decent subs I've heard them before with a nice amp, right now I've got a planet audio amp that lies about it's rms (claims 2400) and only does 500 at 1 ohm. Well the subs are 4 ohm SVC so I have a 2 ohm load. Basically I need a budget amp that does 700 watts @2 ohms. I found a soundstream amp, or a couple actually that are around 130 for the right juice. If they don't lie about their numbers, anybody ever dyno a soundstream? Any other good amps for the same price? Suggestions? I like buying new equipment and she wants new stuff too. thanks for any help.

XS-L121p5w is the sub serial, 2 of these in the trunk

Soundstream is overrated these days. You wont notice a difference between 500 and 700 watts.

You would only be able to tell a difference if it was about 1k or close to that.

Okay but I'm at 2 ohms so that planet audio amp is even less than 500 watts.

Link to the amp you have.

Thanks for the quick replies btw holy crap, but at 2 ohms that amp is probably closer to 300, which is barely enough for 1 sub. Are mb quart amps any good? She would be paying for it and that PA amp is mine so another reason I want to buy a new one online

It's the ac3000.1d, I watched a guy dyno it at less than 500 and my little 1000 explode kicks the **** out of it, but that's in my truck and I'm keeping that

JBL GTO-501EZ has been dyno tested to make over 700W at 2 ohms, if I recall correctly. Plus it has a simple gain setting method that is similar to DD-1. No need to feel iffy about the quality with this amp, or even the GTO-751EZ, but you'll have to spend a bit more for that one.

I'll look into. Does JBL make good amps? I've heard good things about Kenwood and hifonics and id rather just get a little bigger of an amp like 1000 so there's some room left over and I can really max out the subs, they're replaceable so I don't care if I blow em but I probably wont. I mean if we're already spending that much why not shoot a little high

If you hear kenwood and hifonics are good you are listening to the wrong people. Yes JBL makes very good amps

i'd get the jbl over kenwood or hifonics bro. Unless you want head room for future upgrades then i got a brx 2400 for 210 shipped just a few bucks more expensive than the jbl.

Used, I was offering to sell you one. I have a DC audio 3.5k coming in the mail tomorrow so no use for my brx 2400.1 anymore.
