What amps make 3kw @ 2ohms ?

[Haunz 10+ year member]

I'm looking for either a pair of 1ohm stable mono-blocks that can be bridged, or a single 2ohm stable amp that will make 3-4kW.

Budget is around $600

Any suggestions ?

Kicker 2500.1 will get close to 3k at 2 ohms.

For a little bit more you could grab two refurb sundown 1500's from db-r

Two Opti 2000D's strapped will give you 3k.

that would be at 1ohm though

that would be at 1ohm though

wouldn't that be at 2? Or atleast it would still make 3k plus at 2?? And then even more at 1 I guess, right...

ah nvm, i was thinking of strapping it at the lowest impedance that it can go which would be .5ohm each. But i think he's talking about power at 1ohm which is why it would be 3000watts instead of 4000watts, which would be achievable at 1ohm strapped.

The Kicker is a great idea.

Thanks for the suggestions guys...

In all honesty none of the amps mentioned really turn me on except for the SAZ-3000D. The kicker sounds OK, but I hate the brand with a passion and will not run their equipment... Id also prefer not to spend money on a 1ohm or pair of 1/2 ohm stable amps when I am going to run at 2ohms...

I ended up buying a Crossfire VR2000D that was for sale in the classifieds to start out with. If I feel that I want more output I'll be looking to upgrade to an amp or amps that can do more like 4KW @ 2ohms... so by all means keep the suggestions comming...

This is for a pair of Exodus Audio Maelstrom-X 18's BTW....
