What about cheap 2 channel amps?

[Water Bear]

Contemplating an active 3-way set up for the Tahoe, and looking at budget 2 channel amps.

What's the word on this Precision Power amp?

Those are some good specs. 0.02% THD (@ rated power? @ 1 watt? @ optimal wattage?), tons of power, and 4.5k high pass is just high enough to work with tweeters.

This MB Quart ain't bad either.

What recommendations do people have?

Edit: This thing is really cool, too, but is starting to exit the "cheap" category. Comes with a built in DSP.

That particular mode of ppi is pure junk. Stick to ion and phantom.

i'd say get a ppi 900.4. which is bandpass capable. If you plan on using your MRX f30, you can just bridge that amp into a 2 channel amp. Always have more power than you need.

Phoenix Gold Xenon over on woofers etc.com

I x2 the xenon. For 100 bucks it's worth it.

Looking for about 100 per channel at 4 ohm. I won't be using the set up in my sig for the Tahoe - it will be all new parts. Hoping to get 200ish per sub, 50 on the tweets would be fine, 100 on the mids. More is always better, especially when it will come to the bass.

Man that thing looks ******! Cannot beat it for the price.

I've had excellent performance with the PPI, Soundstream Nano and NVX amps. All met or exceeded rated power and were reliable.

Just got mine. Realistically 125x2 at 1 to 4 ohm and less than. 0.1% THD. Triple darlington application stage and the last batch has a circuit that brings the fan up to full speed much later and much slower that way you don't hear that turn on fan noise that was an issue

Wow helluva find on the xenon? Are they actually in stock? They are fantastic amps.

The ppi 350.2 is a good option, CT 100.2 or 150.2

There is a 99$ zapco, but only 60x2
