[QUOTE="emilimo701, post: 7773641, member: 622834"] Hey guys, long time no visit here. I've had an audiopulse axis that i've been underutilizing. One of the next goals is to built a bass reflex enclosure for it (right now it's a perfunctorily-built sealed box). But also, I'm going to need a new amp. Right now I'm pushing it with a Cadence ZRS amp ~1200 watts at 1 ohm (probably less given that my system is actually running at about 13.9 volts. It seems that things haven't changed over the past couple years in the sense that the cost of quality mono amps grow exponentially with power output. One of the amps i'm considering now is the MBquart q1.1500 because of its features and the respect that that brand seems to get. I believe they discontinued it but I still see a few floating around on Amazon. About a year ago I was also looking into the 2200 watt audioque amp. Ideally I'd prefer to buy new, from an authorized retailer where I know the manufacturer warranty would be honored. I feel like the[URL="http://www.woofersetc.com/p-9682-saz-1500d-v2-sundown-audio-1500w-1-channel-monoblock-amplifier.aspx"] sundown 1500w amp[/URL] would be a good choice, assuming that it would meet or exceed specs. The only problem is that it's slightly out of my price range. $450 total is probably my upper max. I'm probably going to get flamed a little bit for not doing some of my own research or browsing the forum beforehand, but I'm very busy this week and was hoping I could maybe get some quick insight not only to this question but also.... what's going on in the industry in general? It seems that there a very few options in this particular niche, and my old favorite vendor, sonic electronix, seems to be cutting their inventory. I can't speak for any of the others though. Thanks for any responses, John [/QUOTE]
