I started a new thread because this quite a tangent from the original 1,2 or 4 ohm thread, so disregard that one for future amp discussion, if this makes sense to the moderators.
I have two 12" Cadence SE beast DR subs dual 2 ohm vc, 600 wrms / 1200 peak per sub. OK, so what about amp recommendations? I would like to be at about 600@4ohms and 1200@2ohms if possible.
So I've considered only 13.5 volts is actually getting to the amp and for example the Hifonics amp is maybe 10% overrated (so I've read) then to actually deliver close to 1200 watts at 2 ohms I think that these are my best choices (if I missed a good option please speak up) choices, each can be purchased and shipped from
eBay for just under $275-$300
A Hifonics BXI 2006, (slightly overrated?) 650 @ 4 and 1300 @ 2 (2000/1)
B Lanzar Opti2000d (i have no idea) 700 @ 4 and 1100 @ 2 (1600/1.3 and 2600/0.5)
C MTX TA 8101 (slightly underrated?) 500 @ 4 and 1000 @ 2 (1500/1)
Of these, what are some of the strengths and/or weaknesses of each amp?
What would you pick?
Is there another option that you would chose that is not listed?
Does anyone know where to get any of them cheaper?
Thank you for your valuable time!
By the way, and not to sound ungrateful or anything and I appreciate everyone's help, I'm just trying to learn and as a newb, simply saying something is "garbage" isn't very informative, please give, if you can, specific reasons for the "garbage" label to assist me in selecting among the garbage that my budget forces me to consider, if that makes any sense. Not trying to be unappreciative, just looking for actual help.
