Ok so I need at least 1k @ 3ohms. I have been looking for an amp for awhile. Now that I have some money Ill be buying one soon. I just wanna know out of the 2 Im about to link which one would be better. Both are around the same price,new. Which one would you pick and why.

Any other suggestions would be great too. Thanks!

Your best bet would be to find an older JBL BP1200.1 and you'll never regret it. 600 rms @ 4 ohm and 1200 @ 2 or 1 ohm. Would be perfect for you. And you'd save some $$$.

Thanks again but I would like to keep it less than 400 bucks.

So out of the 2 amps I linked which would be easier on my elec system and be a overall better amp?

Ive never really heard any good things about Kenwood amps. Not saying youre are lying or anything. So that Kenwood would prolly do about 900wrms @ 3ohms? I really like the looks of those Clarion amps tho,plus I could get a matching Clarion for my comp speakers. I just really dont know wtf to get lol.

 

[craigzter 10+ year member]

lol..i hear ya...what are you going to be powering with the amp?

Im not a big fan of kenwood myself until I saw the one my buddy has...I was shocked...we had it benched and it was doing 1286 @ 2 on 14.2v, like I said I was shocked myself when I saw that. I was expecting like 950-1000 @ 2

I have a 15" TC Sounds LMS-4000,single 3ohm. I would like to give it at least 1k but I know it can take more. Right now I have it on 300wrms on a JL 300/2 and it gets pretty loud so Im sure if its on 1k it will be plenty loud enough for me. Im pretty sure Im going to get one of the amps I linked,JBL or Clarion. I just cant decide man.
