Gold Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 2370 Registered: Mar-06 | See if you can snag a JL 1000.1 @1000wrms at 1.5-4 ohms. Might be tough finding one for that price. The only other option is entry level amps like sony, Lanzar, Pyle, ect. Good luck. Why 800 at 4 ohms anyway? What you running? |
|
Silver Member Username: Fatkidtonawada, Ny Post Number: 188 Registered: Dec-05 | thats why i was looking at the audiobahn A8002V it does the 800 wrms at 4ohms bridged |

Silver Member Username: Smoke05Tucson, Arizona U.S. Post Number: 586 Registered: Jan-07 | what subs do you have, if you lower the ohms is easier to find a ampo that does that kind of power. FYI i have a zx1000.1 kicker amp it does 1000 rms at 2 ohms and at 4 ohms it does like 500, so what subs do you have at what voice coiles do they have? |

Silver Member Username: Fatkidtonawada, Ny Post Number: 189 Registered: Dec-05 | im running a mj-18 single voice coil 4 ohm would a single voice coil at 8 ohm be better? |
|
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Southeast PA Post Number: 2305 Registered: Jul-06 | Lower ohms is better, most amps do the most power at 1 or 2 ohms |
|
Silver Member Username: Fatkidtonawada, Ny Post Number: 190 Registered: Dec-05 | heres a link what 18 would be better? i know it rated at 600 wrms but i want to give it a little more to be sure it getting full power when i want it to http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/shop/index.php?act=viewCat&catId=12 |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Southeast PA Post Number: 2307 Registered: Jul-06 | The first sub there is a dual 4 ohm. That would be best cause you wire it in parallel to 2 ohms..... and get an amp that does 600 @ 2. |

Gold Member Username: JohnfiacA-ToWn, 152-153db Da... My wangers b... Post Number: 2737 Registered: Mar-06 | If your going with a Class A\B amp, i can find somthing no problem but if you want a mono block (Class D) which is best for subs and will give you better bass... maybe look into a used JBL Bp1200.1 used on ebay, they do 750rms at 4ohm and 1300rms @ 1 and 2 ohm (regulated) the amp is a bit underrated so you might actually get about 850Wrms~ at 4ohm, but like everyone said its easier to get the power at lower ohms, get a dual 4ohm and wire it down to 2ohm, and maybe get like a kicker 700.1 if you can find one used |
|
Silver Member Username: Fatkidtonawada, Ny Post Number: 193 Registered: Dec-05 | a class a/b will work but the first sub on the page is a 15 im getting the 18 at svc 4ohm |

Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rPost Number:... Post Number: 2525 Registered: Jul-06 | Eh,if you're on a tight budget just run the Audiobahn and be careful with it.I've heard of a few people running the A800T without any problems at all so they must be decent.I think the biggest problem with Audiobahn is that tons of noobs buy their products and blow their sh1t up and say it's crap.For the most part if you take care of your things they'll last.In my own belief when things get damaged in an install it's because of user error more than the equipment being at fault. |

Silver Member Username: Fatkidtonawada, Ny Post Number: 194 Registered: Dec-05 | thanks i think thats what i will do unless i can get that mb quart |

Silver Member Username: Super_marioPost Number: 258 Registered: Mar-06 | What rob said is true. I bought mine as a refurb and have had it for like 7 months now no problem. Its the 8000t and I had it running 2 15" atlas and it pushed them very nicely. Now I'm using a JBL 1201.1 and I like it even better  . I could sell you mine for cheap. Let me know if your interested. Here's a link to the amp. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://images.cardomain.net/products/abn/ ABNA8000T.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.cardomain.com/item/ABNA8000T&h=200&w=250&sz=5 &hl=en&start=5&um=1&tbnid=gcDJIAuA4iSiRM:&tbnh=89&tbnw=111&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dau diobahn%2B8000t%26svnum%3D10%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Southeast PA Post Number: 2316 Registered: Jul-06 | " if you want a mono block (Class D) which is best for subs and will give you better bass " That second part's not true. You will not hear a difference between a good class D amp and a class A/B amp of the some power. The class D is more efficient however, meaning it draw less current from the electrical system. |
