Hi guys,
I am looking for an amp that does 800-1000 at 4 ohms, and 1500-2000 at 2 ohms. 1 ohm rating not too important right now, but im sure it will be in six months. The kicker zx1500 looks ok, but kinda price. and not realy the specs I want. Any other thoughts?
My prefrence would be Zapco 9.0, Some MMAts, US AMPS, maybe some orions, PPI,or should I just look for two amps that do 800-1000 at 1 ohm. I have 1 L712 d2vc (750 wrms, but will handle 1000) now but will be getting another soon, hence the required amp specs. Thanks in advance Van Man

MMATS amplifiers are Good . US also but they are more expinsive than kicker .

So i would say kicker . Its your choice .

BTW whats your Budget .

that SPL can put some good power for the budget but seriously a good/cheap amp for those specs would be soundstream pca 2000d

1000w rms 4 ohms
1500w rms 2 ohms
2000w rms 1ohm.

Or orion 2500d

1200w rms 4ohm
1700w rms 2ohm
2500w rms 1 ohm.

Thanks, budget is not an issue, 500-700ish, Ebay, used, referb, whatever, as long as it meets requirements. Yea, I have been leaning towards the orion, but would prefer a "step up" Orion seems kinda on the budget side lately. alot of talk that the newer amps are kinda lacking in quality. Any other amps come to mind/ The magazine I have just list 2005/2006 models, and I am sure there are older amps that fit the bill, Just cant seem to find em easily.
But thanks for responces. And when I mean Kickers are pricey, I mean for that money I think there are better amps.

Kicker KX1200.1 would be great with that sub. Ever since directed bought orion,PPI they havn't been the same.

on sounddomain.com they have a 105% price match option so you could get it for less with a warranty and they are really under rated

That kicker ZX1500 might be good enough. I just got y kicker KX12001.1 and the certificate sheet says it has like 1435 so that 1500 is prob underated just as much as mine was.

joey the 1200d/1800d are almost the same, the 1800d is more powerful cuz it has one more filter, one more fuse and the strappable technology (although i've never opened the amp before) And i got it for 145$ shipped with 1 year warranty so i just bought it!

marc you can get 2 small amps and strap them to create a 2 ohm load, while powering subs at 4 ohm... you can even get two hifonics 1206d (not the best option) and they will do the job. But seriously you should consider the ZX cuz is the cheapest/best amp for the money

Sorry I havent responded,Ive been battleing a virus on the PC all night, What a pain, Watch out for anything called "Project 1" Its a beast. Must be new cause none of the virus stuffed worked on it.
Anyway, I gonna go for the Orion, It will push my 1 L7 d2 i have now at 1200@4, My new L7 Im getting soon at 1700@2, and my 2 new subs, when I decide what to get, at 2500 at 1 ohm. So its a very versitle option for my plans. Thanks for helping me narrow it down guys.

And cavs, I think the 1500 is like 1750ish wrms

Why talk so much crap about his amp? If he likes it, let him like it. It's not in your car... so what the h3ll's your problem?

Sorry to be rude, I'm just sick of people getting on other people for their preference in brand.

Juliob likes his amp.. let him be already..

It's not that Mick. He can use what ever brand he wants. The thing is that he talks trash so I have to talk it back. Its the mature thing to do.

i don't talk thrash, i didn't get another lanzar amp you stupid, i posted the article already and you don't seem to bother and read a lil bit. If i own an amp puting 1200w rms+ what's the big deal, forget about the brand and concentrate about helping other people... not talking sh1t about their amps putting 1200w+ rms all day...
