New member Username: DetroitjuggaloPost Number: 2 Registered: Aug-09 | I'm setting up a new system in my truck. so far I have 4g power and ground wire and my speaker wires have been ran. My speakers I have are a pair of Lanzar Max 12's (new from friend) 4 ohms 1000watts max. And I'm now looking for my amp. My friends have 2 amps for sale, a Pyramid PB449X and a Kenwood KAC-8104D. I'm not sure about how the power ratings work and I know kenwoods are better. but the pyramid is in my price range. If i could get more, would the kenwood be alot louder than the pyrmaid? Here is what I found on the details Kenwood KAC-8104D Class D Mono Power Amplifier Maximum Power Output: 1000W RMS Power Output (14.4V ): 300W x 1 at 4ohms (20-200Hz 0.5%THD) 500W x 1 at 2ohms (100Hz 0.8% THD) Built-in Variable Low-pass Filter: 50-200Hz (24dB/oct) Built-in Infrasonic Filter: 15/25Hz (18dB/oct) Bass Boost (0-18 dB at 40 Hz ) Class D Amplifier Circuit Aluminum Die Cast Heat Sink Power MOS-FET Switching Power Supply Speaker Level Input Signal Sensing Turn-On 2 Ohm Load Capability Line Output Terminals (RCA) for Extension Blue Illumination Gold Plated Power and Speaker Terminal Dimensions (W x H x D): 11-1/16" x 2-3/8" x 9-7/8" (280mm x 59mm x 238mm) Pyramid PB449X 1000 Watt 2 Channel MOSFET Amplifier Two Channel Bridgeable Amplification 2x500 Watts/1x1000 Watts Output Bridged @ 4 Ohms Variable Gain Control/Remote Turn On/Off MOSEFT Pulse Modulation Power Supply 2 Ohm Stereo Stable Built-in Bass and Treble Control Gold Plated RCA Low Level Inputs Hi-Level Low Impedance MOLEX Input Speaker Output Terminal Strip S/N Ratio: Greater Than 90dB THD Less Than 0.04% Frequency Response: 15-30k Hz Overload/Thermal/Short Circuit Protection Power On LED Indicator LED Diagnostic Condition Indicator Automotive Type Fuse Protection Dimensions: 15.25''W x 2.25''H x 10.67''D |

I did the same thing and hated the result. the second time around I saved and shopped around and got some decent entry level stuff. its worth the wait. |

Gold Member Username: N2audioLawrence, Ks USA Post Number: 1791 Registered: Mar-04 | Those subs shouldn't need more than 250-300w each to do about all they're going to do. You could give them more but I don't think there'd be much to gain. That Pyramid -- right there with the lowest quality amps available. It's rated for 125w x 2 at 4 ohms so 100w per sub would be a reasonable expectation. For <$50 it might be worth it just for the learning experience, but it is NOT a good amp and really not very well suited for what you need. Kenwood as a whole is a much better brand, but there have been a LOT of reports on that amp and a few others like it having weak power supplies that are known to fail long before they should. That being said, it would give you a decent amount of power (400-500w at 2 ohms) with 200-250w per sub. here's a cerwin vega that would be decent - http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_12078_Cerwin-Vega+Vega+V500.1.html Phoenix gold - http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_9795_Phoenix+Gold+Ryval+V8001.html Pioneer - http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_13240_Pioneer+GM-D8400M.html Refurbished Infinity - http://cgi.ebay.com/INFINITY-1600A-CLASS-D-MONOBLOCK-CAR-AMPLIFIER-AMP-MONO_W0QQ itemZ200334317996QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCar_Amplifiers?hash=item2ea4db19ac&_trksid=p 3286.c0.m14 Another thing to consider -- the greatest amp won't matter if the enclosure for your subs isn't good. |
