Gold Member Username: James1115Wilton, Ct Post Number: 2790 Registered: Dec-04 | jbl bp 600 it is 300 x1 at 4ohms and if you want to add another down the road at two ohms it is 600x1. |
|
DANNIIIEEEE Unregistered guest | im on a tight budget(about 115$tops) thats why i was thinking the audiobahn a2800t... the subs 300w rms but i heard it's really underated so it's prolly a true 350-400 rms-- so any good amps for bout 115?? |

Anonymous | nope |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 1870 Registered: Jun-04 | try more like their power is over rated....my cousins profile amp has the same fuse size as the a 4002t and they claim its 400 rms but trust me it isnt do the math 40 amps (fuse size) times 14.4 = 576 wattsthats 100 percent efficiency knock it down to class a/b efficiency which is 60 percent your down to 230.4 watts and thats at 14.4 volts and an amp never reaches full fuse rating |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 1871 Registered: Jun-04 | opps i messed up its 345.6 watts not 230.4 watts |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 1872 Registered: Jun-04 | still over rated |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 1873 Registered: Jun-04 | could be as low as 50 percent efficiency 288 watts |
|
DANNIIIEEEE Unregistered guest | well the audiobahn is on the cheaper side and i only need about300-350watts rms... so would it do the job(one channel of the a2800t)... or i could just get the a2400t bridged but its the same price.. which is better performance wise? |

|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 1878 Registered: Jun-04 | do you have a link to that amp? |
|
DANNIIIEEEE Unregistered guest | okay now i have a little delema though.. the atlas is 300/350 rms, and the audiobahn amps specs are- 2ohm stereo 2x400 rms 4ohm stereo 2x200 rms 4ohm mono 1x800 (the a2800t) and the amp is obviously overated but if i only use 1 of the channels on the 4ohm load i'll only be getting about a true 150w rms-- so should i go 4ohm mono(dosent that mean bridged???) and turn down the amp to run supposivle about 1x450w rms and then with it being overated it'll be about 350w rms??? im really in a jam and this is the only amp i can offord |
|
DANNIIIEEEE Unregistered guest | i don't know is the a2800t a class D amp??? audiobahns website is really confusing what should i do about the amp tho? |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 1880 Registered: Jun-04 | if your math is right youll be peachy keen 4 ohm mono just watch how hard you push it we are driving that profile amp into a 150 rms sub bridged and its taking it daily we just dont distort the sub...its kickers 12 inch entry level speaker in an oversized box to boot |

Gold Member Username: Taylor17Kopperl, Texas Post Number: 1779 Registered: Jan-05 | I'm not sure, but it looks like it is a mono |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 1881 Registered: Jun-04 | this t series is class a/b just wanted you to see the t series is a/b not to suggest this amp over yours http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=48597%26item%3D5772809343 %26 |
|
DANNIIIEEEE Unregistered guest | well since i don't drive untill like next february.. i'll probably just wait and hopefully better amps will pop into perspective, because all this is confusing me right now-- lol |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 1882 Registered: Jun-04 | danie youll be fine with that amp dont worry about it |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 1883 Registered: Jun-04 | its not gonna overdrive that sub at all |
|
DANNIIIEEEE Unregistered guest | http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=48597%26item%3D5772492107 %26 just if you were wondering this is the amp |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 1884 Registered: Jun-04 | find out which it is? |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 1885 Registered: Jun-04 | oh ok ill look |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 1886 Registered: Jun-04 | ok i messed with this amp it will drive two of those subs easy go for it its worth your price you qouted it will drive way more than 350 rms |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 1887 Registered: Jun-04 | you would be better of with the avalanch instead of the atlas do one avalanch 15 and youre good to go...well worth it...the ohms would be wrong for two atlas 15's |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 1888 Registered: Jun-04 | heres the link 225 bucks youll be very pleased http://www.ascendantaudio.com/index.htm heres the link with the specs http://www.ascendantaudio.com/archive/Avalanche%2015.htm |
|
DANNIIIEEEE Unregistered guest | no i was only going to get 1 15" atlas... and thats what that amp was for-- i think you've been thinking i was getting 2 the whole time i shoulda clarified that more... but would that amp still work good? |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 1891 Registered: Jun-04 | youd have to watch your amp gains if you get one i think that amp will push a true 600 if i remember right set the gains low but your best pick would be the atlas 15 if you can afford it trust me youll like it |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 1892 Registered: Jun-04 | the atlas can handle 800 but will drive very well with 600 |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 1893 Registered: Jun-04 | the avalanch 15 can handle 800 but will drive very well with 600 |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 1894 Registered: Jun-04 | the correct one is the avalanch 15 can handle 800 but will drive well with 600 |
|
DANNIIIEEEE Unregistered guest | yea i would LOVE to get that sub but i can only afford about 130 for subs and i thought i would go with the atlas 15"(becuz with shipping it should be round 130) and then i need a low budget amp for around 130 too, i guess i could get the audiobahn a400t i think it puts out 400 rms bridged at 4ohms so it should be about a true 300 rms lets hope.. lol that way i wouldn't have to mess with the gains even tho i would have Best Buy install it-- should i just go with the a400t(even tho it's the same price for half the wattage) because eventually i would hook up some 6x9 or a set of subs not just one |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 1900 Registered: Jun-04 | well the a4002t is 133 dollars shipped the other amp you mentioned is cheaper do that just run the gains lower more power is cleaner power....thats a decent amp for the money you qouted http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=48597%26item%3D5772492107 %26 just if you were wondering this is the amp |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 1901 Registered: Jun-04 | cleaner when you can set the gains lower i meant |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 1902 Registered: Jun-04 | do the bigger one its the one you found and gave me the link to its only 2 bucks more than the 4002 |
