Suggestions on a mono amp?

[adamsdell 10+ year member]

I have been out of car audio for a while but I am getting back into it. I know there are alot of good companies out there that have good amps, and many I have never heard of, so here goes. I need some suggestions from you guys on a good 800W/900W RMS mono amp?

Specs I need:

4 ohm - 300/400 RMS Watts

2 ohm - 500/600 RMS Watts

1 ohm - 800/900 RMS Watts

I would like to pay around $250-$300 or less.

Thxs.

What load are you actually going to use.

4,2 or 1?

9.1........

I am starting at 4 ohms, but with more subs, those will be running at 2 and then on to the 1 ohms for the final setup. I want the amp flexable for my future plans.

I am still in the planning stages....

excel, what is that 9.1??

eD Nine.1 is what I'm assuming.

But if you are gonna wanting to be going from 4 to 2 to 1, I'd assume you'll be running 1 sub, then 2, then 4?

900rms mono?!

Yeah thats what I am doing. I would like to go all out with a 150+ dB ground pounder, but current finances wont allow, so start off small and work my way up.

^might be hard with only $300 on the amp

Yeah goth, I need one for 800-900 rms at 1ohm for my final setup. I am starting at one sub, then two, then four but only need 800W-900W total.....for now.

Well that was an estimate on the cost of it. If I find a good one with the specs I need, I can pay more, just need suggestions for getting one.

gonna be hard to find a mono amp that goes up in minor increments like that...most double in power when going from 4 to 2 then again from 2 to 1ohm. for instance my incriminator is 450 @ 4, 900 @ 2 and 1800+ @ 1

Well thats another good point bones, what about a total of 900W at 1ohm for the final wattage. I figured that the wattage would be close to what I said earlier, but I am still not sure of how the wattage at the different ohms would be.

I'd just get an SAZ1500d and call it a day.

Little more power in the end than you want, but it's QUITE efficient, and the power requirements you listed are NOT realistic at ALL... for a single amplifier.

ngs, that looks like a great amp, a little too much power for me thought, do they make a 1000W version? What do they run if they have one?

Bones

That looks like what I need, your right is it pretty close, what do they usually run?
