New member Username: Mq1Post Number: 1 Registered: Feb-09 | I don't know which amp to get.I have 3 choices currently and they are the Kicker ZX500.1-500w RMS at 2 ohms Kole Audio QX2400D-1800wRMS at 1 ohm http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_16194_Kole+Audio+QX1-2400D.html Phoenix Gold Ryval V800-800wRMS at 2 ohms I don't know much about amps but do know that kole audio is overrated and kicker is underrated. My question is out of those 3 which will put out the most true power? my budget is $150 and I can get any of those 3 for that price or less. |

New member Username: Mq1Post Number: 3 Registered: Feb-09 | a pioneer premier champion pro series they can handle 1000w rms but don't need that much power cause I don't want electrical upgrades..I know the Kicker will do 500 if not more like 550 but will the phoenix gold or kole do more than that |
Bronze Member Username: Gboo559Post Number: 14 Registered: Jan-09 | from what i know the PG should do a little more than the kicker but not as good quality.kole audio is garbage and it wont do anything NEAR 1800 it will do less than 800.i got a friend running that amp at 1ohm for about a year daily and his subs can only handle 800. Amp broke twice but he had warranty. So pretty much if you want quality go with the kicker if not PG but def. Not the kole More power i'd say the PG Could be wrong tho correct me if i am |

New member Username: Mq1Post Number: 4 Registered: Feb-09 | ok how about the hifonics 1608 it says 1100 at 2 ohms is that better than the phoenix gold? |
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Philadelphia, PA Post Number: 9985 Registered: Jul-06 | Nope. That amp is overrated and will only do 80% of claimed power at best. |
New member Username: Mq1Post Number: 5 Registered: Feb-09 | so the phoenix gold will do more at 2 ohms than the hifonics? will it do the 800rms it says it will at 2 ohms? or pretty close to it? |
Bronze Member Username: Gboo559Post Number: 19 Registered: Jan-09 | PG will probably do near rated power but not a true 800. Hifonics USED to be good until maxxsonics bought them. Go with the PG I doubt you'll find a better amp at your budget. And make sure you get a built 2 specs box or else it's not gonna get as loud. |
