looking for 1000k or a little over. $200 - 300 limit. already have an apsm 1300 but thats not very efficient. looking at an aq1200d or an alpine mrp- m1000. any suggestions or opinions on these? is an mb quart 1500 efficient?

Those mini's are ok. I'm not sure it would really be worth the funds to get a new amp to be honest.

What are your goals for this? What do you plan or want to see from changing amps?

I've got a DC 1.2K for $300 + shipping if you're interested does like 1600rms @ 1 ohm. Like new in box with bass knob and manual.

if you are on a 200$ budget. get a mb quart 1500 and run at .5

my amp was ran on a hdc3 d1 at .5 daily with gucci in control

still works

but dont go near AP... and a brz1700 is 229 and will survive .5

i did a box for erik for 2 oa 12s d2 on a brz at .5 and it does really good

and the new goliath series from hifonics

i want an amp that is more efficient. straight up. my lights are dimming really bad in my civic, and i did the big 3 but its still dimming. so i need a more efficient amp. next step is messing with the ELD. trying to work that out.

how bout a brz1200.1D its cheaper and closer to what i need for power.

Maybe try a kinetik battery near your amp? Might save you a few dollars vs a new amp and your car will benefit more.

Swapping amps will not resolve the issue. You need to adjust your electrical to keep up with the system.

maybe. its a battery tho. and isn't adding another battery just like putting a band aid on? doesn't rele solve the problem just solves it for a while? because my alt will still only be putting out 80a and then it needs to charge 2 batts. isn't that just more stress on it?

meyhem drop me a call 336-949-0333 i can walk you through the ELD bypass...

other than that you do need a good battery. hc1400 would be the least i would reccomend for your honda .

Chances are an amplifier isn't going to fix your problem I want from an AP1500 to my DC 1.2K and notice almost barely any change... Dropping down to .5 on any of those amplifiers listed is just going to make it much worse. Invest in a battery before you invest in a new amplifier the AP1300 should be fine given it's getting the right voltage.

I've noticed dimming is REALLY hard to stop even with good voltage you can get a good amount of dimming.

I'm going to try that with the eld. but a little help from a more efficient amp, and the big 3 and doing the eld upgrade stuff like that will help a little at a time. so idk. will switching out the amp rele help? ik u just said it prbly won't solve the issue, but will it help towards solving my problems?
