Want 2k+ mono amp asap

[biggz45]

I want something solid like DD, DC, AQ2200, running 2000-2400w rms @ 1 ohm.

Trying to keep within $300 but will be willing to spend up to $350.. possibly a little more depending on what you have.

Links to listings are helpful too

Thanks!

Why don't you just buy it brand new with that price u can get a ton new in that power range

Uhhh... Like what???

American bass 4480 around 2500 watts 300-350 new just go to a site and look there all over not terrible hard to find that wattage in your price rang

I myself plan to swap my t2000 out for the american bass they do same amount of wattage I just want to get it

I've researched them. Not bad amps, same as Massive N4, but aren't likely to hold 2500 watts from what I've read.

Actually nothing like the massive Better. And can do 2500 rms and .5 stable

Hmm, guess that's just what I read in quick research when I saw one cheap lol.. is the 2500@1 or .5? I'd also like something efficient and durable

At .5 2200 rms at 1 ohm. They are very efficient and durable

In the Amps for sale there are brand new BRZ2400.1 for $250 CEA compliant.

 

[biggz45]

Yeah I know but I don't think they're as efficient or well built.. want to be able to beat on it without a problem on an electrical that isn't up to par at the moment and have it last

Nice, you know at what voltage?

14.4

Okay completely messed up this comment. Just saw American bass and thought of the ph4000md lol.. my bad

If your electrical is sub par you'll wipe out a high quality amp just as quickly as you'll wipe out a cheap one. You'll also cook voice coils in the process.

You can't build a quality home on a foundation of mud...

As an electrical engineer I realize this. I only have a 220 amp alt and 1 extra battery. However, you can't tell me that at a voltage drop a cheap amp holds up like top brand.

 

[bbeljefe]

If you have a 220 amp alternator and one extra battery, I can't help but assume you're running at least 2 gauge wiring and have done a big 3 upgrade. And if so, you're hardly working with sub par electrical for a 2000 watt system. Especially considering that if you did indeed go to that much effort, you've probably also got zero gauge in the system.

But yeah, a high quality amp that's designed to work on 14.4 to 16 volts isn't going to like 10.5 volt drops under a load at all, because the power supply will actually be capable of trying to make up for it in current, while a lower quality amp will tolerate the low voltage and just either go into protect or clip like hell.

But from what you've said, you'll not have any 10.5 volt drops with that electrical and only 2000 watts.

Yea the ph amps are basically a rebadged massive. Question is , who's coping who which one was out first

Yeah, I have done big 3 and all 0 gauge ofc. The problem you run into is running for periods of time. A 220 amp alt is rated at its max so assume it puts out an average 200 and the car running takes 40 and if I run 2000w at a best 80% efficiency at 1 ohm that's about 180 amps to run, and the battery discharges, voltage drops, and like you said the amp makes up for voltage with current and current=heat, though this is pretty close in power and won't equate to much. Plus another amp causes more draw and increases the issue.. just sayin

lol sub par my as* dude i run anywhere between 2000-2500 RMS (dont know EXACT number) but my t2000 is CRANKED at the gains..

all i have is a optima under the hood and optima in the back and have maybe 110-120 amp alt? my voltages typically stay at 14 every now and then depending on song length of play and what not my voltages can drop to low 13s high 12s not ideal but safe enough for me (for now)

dont even have big 3...im a lazy bum lol

with that being said MINE is subpar

all that really matters after you say "they are the same" i dont care whos copying i care whos cheaper lol
