What is a good budget amp? under 200 smacks and 1000rms + 1-0hm stable?

[bigbangtheory 5,000+ posts]

I have been peaking the classifieds, but honestly don't want to go over 200 dollars unless I absoutley have to and having a hard time finding anything under that or someone wanting to do a MO only.........PP still seems to be big, which I don't know why.

Trying to find a 1000rms or lower RMS that is effecient and underrated at 1-ohm. I seen a couple on onlinestereo.com, so will post those to see what you guys think.

I purchased a Pioneer 3002D2 sub, which is a 1000rms 3000 peak. So trying to get something close to it's RMS rating.

Here are the two from onlinestereo.com.

Autotek Street Machine SMI-1000 A/b amp. Also before this I had a 750.1 A/B Autotek Super Sport edition on my CVX and it did well, but sold it as I was trying to get out of caraudio, which I just can't seem to. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/verymad.gif.3f39c5c2fd57527b671fad3efdfac756.gif

Or there is this HifonicsTXI-1000D. I like the fact it is a class D, but is their lower line and heard they are overrated. Is this true?

Or throw some amps out there. I can go over 200, but not much more.

Thanks for any help.

Word, lol!

I just checked the Audioque site and I may look into thier 1200d amp. Just not sure if I need all of that. My electrical isn't up to par since I got rid of my batteries. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

So this will be on stock...............//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif For now.

You should go with the AQ. They do rated power and seem to be pretty efficient. I had the AQ2200 on my jeep with a stock alt and battery and it was fine.

its still kickin. Im about to buy some pioneer tsd-1720c comps and hopefully a PG zx450. You should look into some PG amps. They are efficient and under rated. I know my RSD 1200.1 is ~80% maybe more but not 1 ohm stable. You would need a xenon or a tantrum 1200.1

I wouldn't really call it really under rated but it does at least rated power at 13.8. Says out of stock but cadencedirect on ebay might have some.

Might just have to spend a little more than I wanted, but if I did ever have to sell quick, I betcha I could get rid of an AQ amp quickly.

Tantrums are excellent amps, buddy currently runs one and loves it. I be hard pressed to find one under 200 smacks. Also you will love those 720c's, I know I do. Also active, I wish I could! Give me my deck back!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Almost bought that amp in the classifieds here, but he wanted paypal only. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Thanks for the suggestions guys, keep them coming.

Audiopipe is decent. Used to run their subs back in the day.

I ended up getting a good price on a barley used Fusion amp from H&k who is a member here.

1000RMS amp that has been benched at over 1400 on 14 volt system. So plenty of power for me. Only need 1000rms anyway.....if that.

Thanks for all that helped.
