Which Lanzar amp?

[z400rdr 10+ year member]

I am looking at two Lanzar amps. One is the Vibe1200d and the other is the Vibe1500d.

Vibe1500d:

What would be the RMS at 1 ohm on those amps? It only says the max power.

Which one would be better at powering my two 12" SE12's? (The SE12's are 600 wrms each)

Thanks, Matt

Don't get them. I had the 2000w vibe 268 and it only put out about 500watts of clean bass and got hot real quick. The Lanzar OptiDrives are good but the Vibes are crap.

The 1200D is actually a decent amp!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Ah what the hell do I know, I've only owned about 20 different brands of amps. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

What does carsound.com know?? -- they've only tested thousands. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

BTW - I've owned/installed 7 different lanzar Vibe amps. The a/b's are over-rated, but you still get a lot for the cost. The 1200D is actually under-rated. It will do over 1200w at 1 ohm with 14v, and besides the original '99/'00 models they're pretty reliable too.

I've settled on optidrives though. They're in a different league altogether.

Would the 1500d be just as good as the 1200d?

I'm FAIRLY sure they have the exact same board.
