No longer available I believe. That is going to be a CAB 2000. Completely different board/style.

Not this time for me... if im gonna load em at 1/2 ohm... im trying to buy some quality that'll hopefully last a few years. I always expected my CAB's to burn-up, but they never did. Dumb luck I suppose... the new CAB offering just seems to be getting negative comments awfully quick and that's NOT a good indicator. Nope, these new ones wont be for me. I'll ALWAYS drop impedance and I want something that might last awhile. Ill be shopping for 5k minimum anyways. 1.5-2.5k budget amps seem to be popping up everywhere but im not convinced the ones that say they'll do 1/2 ohm would really last long enough to bother with.

Soundqubed S-2250 - $250 - These have my interest lol

Skar RP1500 - $180

Skar RP2000.1 - $230

Soundstream Rubicon 2500 - $220 ebay

Soundstream Ta1.3000d - $250 off Ebay, I have this amp,(dont get the newest model t1.6000d) This is rated 3k at .5 and 2500 at 1, though when dyno'd by Tfade it did 2000 at 1 ohm so safe to say it will do 2500 at .5. Can also be burped at .25 and ran at .25(i have not done this but i have seen in person them doing this. I have had this for like 5 years has always been solid. Ran at .5 for the first 2.5years and then changed to 1 ohm and bout to go back to .5 ohm for my ZV4 15 D1.

I've got a Massive N4 which is rated at 2k at 1 ohm. It's no beauty but it works nice. Asking 185 shipped for it.

For $229 I'd pass.

Looking for a 1500-2000 rms class d amp. My budget is $200 for a amp

I can name so many amps it's silly.

Cheapest in that range is a toss between the SKAR Rp1500.1D and the Audiopipe APCL1500d

If you can stretch to $250, the Soundqubed S1-2250 will give you over 2300W (yeah yeah yeah I know box rise blah blah blah) and has the nicest build quality I have seen below $250 for a 2K amp

If you want the nicest built period at $250 though, check out the Orion XTR1500.1Dz at $249 or Talk to Colin at Wolfram and see if he will do a W-1500 for $229

The most power under $250 is the Skar RP2000.1D, though some say they have heat issues... Though if you can get a refurb from them at $179 it's impossible to beat.

If you want a warranty and have a .5 stable amp, look at the Soundstream t1.6000Dl (Or TA1.3000d), OR if you don't give a F about ratings or name, pick up the Power Acoustik EDG-10000D from Walmart for $250 and grab a walmart warranty and beat the F out of that thing.

Also the Precision Power Black Ice 7000.1D performed great on my test bench and those can be had on ebay for around $220

I also tested a Soundstream T1.4000DL, sometimes you can find those sub $200 and yes they do over 1800W Certified and over 2k dynamic

Lastly, if you REALLY Want to save money https://www.amazon.com/Soundstream-PA1-5000D-Picasso-1-Channel-Amplifier/dp/B01B9KH7ZU/ref=sr_1_24?m=A2L77EE7U53NWQ&s=warehouse-deals&ie=UTF8&qid=1521814606&sr=8-24&keywords=class+d''

This is the EXACT amp I used in my dyno video. It performed very nicely... and at $149 is a f'n steal. Sorry about the bass knob though.

That one is the "Might be a scam" one.... No feedback for the seller and it's been up around a month. Deal buys is the cheapest I have seen for a new one... $374 for the 4000D and $399 for the 4001D... Walmart also sells them for $440 with tax. You can still grab the other refurb they have for $219 using the code PRETTYDAY.
