Older Cost Effect 500-600 RMS at 4 ohm AMP?

[kevinmcc2]

Hey all, looking for a used preferably older 600 RMS at 4 ohm amp to power my Sundown E-12 D2 subwoofer.

I am using an old class AB and it keeps cooking itself to thermal protection and is underpowered.

I been looking at the MRP1000 and zx1000.1 but cant really find any good deals on ebay.

Does anyone know of any amp that puts that RMS out that is a older/cheaper amp?

Would a MRP850 (pushing 500 RMS) be a good match? I always try to run a little bit bigger amp for my subs but these seem to be priced well.

why at 4 ohms?

why not 1 ohm? would be alot easier to find a 1k at 1 ohm rather than a 600 rms at 4 ohm. You'd be looking at like a 2k rms amp for 600 rms at 4 ohms unless you get a 2 ohm stable amp then 4 ohm is easier

but here's a decent amp. I ran a 8105d and 9105d, were decent budget amps

It shouldn't be getting hot at all. Either your ground is bad or your settings are wrong.

Yours shouldn't be getting that hot. My A/B feel like they can cook eggs and they are covered. Never thermal warming..

I just took a chance and ordered a Kenwood KAC-9106D hopefully it doesnt get too hot and now I have the option to upgrade to a second Sundown E12 and run it at 2 ohm at 1000 RMS watts..

Thanks all

I have a Memphis AR-HC50 that would be great for your application. Will do around 700-800rms bridged at 4 ohms. Very clean power, in great condition and built like a tank. Lmk if you are interested and I can send pics.

You should have figured out what the problem was first.

That amp only 40a fuse rating Will never do 1000 watts. I owned one there decent but mine would get hot af in my trunk never shut off though.
