Need help deciding on amps

[galacticmonkey 5,000+ posts]

after i get my amps im getting 4 fully loaded 18" BTLs. im kinda stuck on what amps to get though.

i have some guy who will sell me 4 powerbass XA3000Ds, but i think i might want more power.

for about $2,500 shipped, whats the most amount of power i can get?

ive been looking at alot of american bass amps, they seem real nice.

the Z1s? and how much would those be for 2? and how much power would they make @ .5ohm at 14v? thats for daily

 

[Louisiana_CRX 5,000+ posts]

These are for 1 ohm mono at over 5000 RMS Strappable at 2 ohms for over 10,000 RMS..These are some of the most efficient amps made at over 83% efficiency...They are extremely low distortion....I bought the last Z1's made from thair 2nd series which had improvements over the first series...

I'm selling these for $1250 each shipped...retail was $1800

well the only options for the subs are for 4 subs:

dual 1

dual 2

thats 2 subs, so what would be the best way for wiring on these amps for a daily driven system? are they .5 ohm stable? the dual 1 coils are actually .7s so i dont know how i would be able to wire 2 subs to 1 amp so i get decent power but not damage the amp from low impedance.

as for eletrical, they will have 5 kinetik monsters ran off some big alt (not sure, probably iraggi 300 or so)

idk, im probably looking for more power than 11,000 watts or so

actually, if you could drop the price a little i might be interested. could you do $2,350 + shipping for 2 BNIB Z1s?

might be like 2 weeks until i have the money, but might be sooner than that

I wouldnt pay $2500 for 4 powerbass XA3000ds, THATS CRAZY!!!! As far as the z1s, I havent heard to many good things about them.

 

[galacticmonkey 5,000+ posts]

lol na, the XA3000Ds were about 1700 for 4.

and whats wrong with the Z1s? they're badass amps lol

How about an adassa warlord. Cheaper than the Z1's and put out 5k @ 1ohm

idk about the adassa, they havent really been proven yet like the Z1s have. im feeling 2 Z1s now and 2 more later, when i can afford more.

but ya, its not going to be that loud because it will be a ground pounder. big ported wall in the cargo area tuned to like 34hz maybe

Why not go with the Z2 or a 40.1 for that price, just a thought.

Btw galactic I like your roe vid, it's one the better roe vids which are long and show a lot of flexing.

Can you make your next vid just like the treo but longer //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
