What amps are you running your BTLs on?

[germanyt 10+ year member]

If you have BTLs, what amps are you using? How do you like or dislike it and why? Is it pushing the sub to it's potential? I'm still trying to decide on amps and I'm looking for suggestions of people with experience? Please explain in deatail as well, how your electrical stands up and what box it's in if you don't mind. Thanks.

How is the MA? A lot of people say they are trash but you sure catch a lot of people using the 4000.

I used a Kicker 2500.1 @2ohms (2700rms)

I also used a Memphis MOJO 4kw @1ohm (4000rms)

Liked both, the Kicker was all it needed daily...

Doesn't seem like that would be enough power for two. Were they at .5 ohm? Can a hifonics handle .5 ohm?

Wonder how much 2 T2000s can be had for? The RFs are pretty expensive.

I hadn't considerd the Kicker. I see those for pretty decent prices too. I need two though and that could get pricey. How much do the 4KWs go for these days?

You missed the deal of a lifetime...

I just sold mine for $600.

Perfect amp for a pair of BTL's...

the HK is a lot of things,...trash is not one of them. they do take a shi.tload of current tho. takes a lott of elec to power them to their full potential

I found them for less than 700. I could get two and run them at 2 ohm and hope to hold 13 volts. That's 6000 watts for less than 1400 bucks.

hahaha umm.....$1400 for amps...add another $2000 for the electrical to push 6000rms. specially on hk's

I think I have electrical covered. Even for 6000 watts plus the two rainbow 2 channels. what is the efficiency on the HK?
