Small footprint, high efficiency mono block

[TheUnderFighter 10+ year member]

I'm looking for things of the like of Mmats, Treo, b2 Audio, etc... Looking to buy used obviously, cus I'm a cheap mofo. And I won't be looking to buy just yet, cus I'd still have to sell my current amps. Just trying to get an idea of who's got what.

Power requirements: around 1.8k-2k of power.... preferably at .5 or 2 ohms. Needs to maintain efficiency at those ohm loads.

I'll also be looking for an Active capable 4 channel with around 100w per channel at 4 ohms. I would love if it was the same brand, or at least very similar cosmetics.

For a size reference, I have an eD 9.1 and 9.4 end to end. I'd need the new amps to be shorter than that end to end.

if you don't have the mono down, I have a Treo RSX1900 for the cheap

PM sent. Kinda back in the market. Still shopping around.

Too big, and not efficient enough. I know it's not that big, and it's pretty efficient. But not as small and efficient as I need it to be Believe me, I keep looking at them and thinking about it, especially since they have a matching active 4 channel amp. The pair together would only be 2 inches shorter in overall length, and that's still just a bit too long.

Jew.... Mmats now.... I'll meet half way

Meet at Stone? haha. Just can't afford it yet. Hopefully tomorrow I'll get around to getting my FS ad up for the 9.1. If I can get a good price on it, that'll help a lot.

Interested in my amp??? Very small and not hungry at all. 1836watts of unclipped power @1.5ohm with 13v. Can provide proof if needed. 2 Months old. I run it at .67ohm with zero issues and have a mate that runs 2 at .33ohm with no issues. Only willing to sell cause I needs 3k+..

Probably. But it's also way too little power on the sub channel. Gorgeous as hell though, I'd have to get seat protectors from blowing my load every time I look at it.

1k to 2k only gives you 3dB improvement, not factoring impedance rise from power compression or changes in impedance caused by the box. You'll see no more than 2-3dB from 1kwrms to 2kwrms

Sorry @disturbed471985 I forgot to check back in here. No need for proof, the first google search revealed TaylorFade's clamp Lemme know what you're looking for on a price (I'm a cheap fucker), and if I can afford it and fit it... I might just have to buy it.

Yup, and that's exactly what I'm looking for. I'm not metering at all, so I don't care how many decibels it gives me. But I'm going from a single sub on 1.2k, to 2 subs, and I'd really like to have at least 2k going to them, to help battle impedance rise, and push them as much as I can. Also, I am limited on space, so I want more power to compensate for my smaller box.

Assuming you're going from 1 12 to 2 12s, double the surface area is already going to give you +3dB.

I'm going from one 10, to a pair of 10's. But yea, I'm hoping to really notice a difference from doubling the power and surface area. Mostly just looking to move more air.

Toss me a number thinking about getting out of hobby. So might be selling all.
