need effecient amp ?whats my options

[swangin68 10+ year member]

is there an effecient amp that wont draw to much amperage or voltage and put out 1000 -15000 rms...i had my orion 2400 in my honda and the alt cant keep up,,, volts would drop to mid 10's low 11's on low notes!!!!!!but i love the power, i dont want to put batterys or ho alt..so whats my options out there,,,so right now i have a interfire 900 which i believe does 500 rms..? sounds good but my electrical can take more,,volts dont get below 13

most class D amps are far more efficient than A/B amps at near full power.

whoa, thats a hell of a range there..1000-15000 wrms..

****.

well, just find an amp that has less amps than it puts out watts.

thats efficent

JL 1000/1 v1 or v2

PDX 1000.1

JL amps are not that efficient IMO ..

Jl amps are pretty efficient IMO

Have you ever owned a Jl1000 and then switched to an actual efficient amp ? .. Id guess no . Ive owned both amps and the AQ shits on the Jl when it comes to efficiency . Not saying the Jl isnt a good amp . Dont get me wrong , but the OP is looking for an effecient amp . Jl amps are power hungry compared to other amps in their power range ..

sd 1500 or even the 1000 is good

sundown saz 1500( $330)

and memphis mc1500( $250)

owned both and they were great on a 90 amp stock alt and batt

If you're looking for efficiency don't get a JL amp. Any zenon board amp and yes the AQ1200 is a fine choice

I don't know about all kicker amps but my kicker kx2500.1 was very efficient, but only 2 ohm stable. So kicker maybe
