Ok so I bout to Kicker Comp VR 12s duel 2ohm and need an amp to run them now.
I had a Kicker ZR240 that I was going to use and I already instaled it but its DOA.

Iv been doing this for years but have not been looking at amps and such that much becouse I already had an amp. But seeing as its dead I need a new one and was wondering what you guys might recomend.

Ok this is what I need,
RMS power of about 700 watts. I need RMS of 700 watts not the peak. So if your going to recomend an amp thats rated at 700 watts please check to see if the manufacturer rated it peak or RMS.

Not all 700 watt amps actuall make 700 watts. some are 700 watt peak and will only make 250-350 watts RMS.

I have to have an amp that can take a 2ohm mono load.
I would prefer a mono€ block amp. But a 2ch is cool as long as it can take a 2ohm bridged load.

And last thing is it has to have a remote gain control. This is a must! If it dosnt have this I wont buy it.

Thanks every one.

well I have a PPI DCX 1500.1 that puts out 1000RMS @ 2ohm or 1500 @ 1ohm. It sell new for $599 on ebay. I used it for about a month and took it out. Was a little 2 much and I am going to rebuild my box and prob go with a smaller amp.
If your interested Make me an offer

 

ok so i have a kicker 600.1 i had a kicker L5 for in my old car and it thumped man this amp will power that sub no doubt...make me an offer...only reason im selling it is because i dont want the extra weight in the cobalt haha

 

no offense, but crunch is junk

for car audio, what you get is what you pay for. there are junk "1500 watt" amps that cost around $100-200, that are pieces of **** and are probably 200 watts RMS

I would stick with Kicker for the amp...usually when you mate the same brand subs and amp you will have a better sound. JL has some good amps. And too bad they quit making PPI..damn those were monsters.

Punch used to be good amps...don't know if they still are though.

 

Same setup I have. Started in my Neon and moved to my Cobalt. Hits good with the L5 wired @2ohm

Amp is capable of "732"Watts RMS(According to the certificate that comes with the amp). Sub is 600W@2ohm and 300@4ohm

 

Scan of the Certificate:

 

Pmd you^

Any one els?

I have a buddy who is selling a MTX Prothunder 1501D mono block, 1500 watts peak

 

i have a sony explod amp that is 600 rms for 150 shipped????

 

^ No thanks. Sony amps are way over rated. A 600 watt Sony is doing good if makes 400watts.

Blown06 how much dos he want for it and do you have any more info on it?

Sony amps are not over rated, they are usually dead on accurate. I have seen a few different lines tested at the shop i use to work at. I have also had other people verify that they have tested them and they are within +-5 W of the rated RMS values. Sony is not the best company but they do what they say.

 

I am a jl audio dealer. if you want something new let me know then you can get the waranty with it. I have 500/1 or the 1000/1. which ever you are interested in let me know Ill see if i cvan get a fellow balter a discount. chris

 

I will talk to him today and get a price for you

 

I would love a JL 1000.1 but there just to much money. Im not going to pay 600 bucks for that amp. And the 500.1 is a bit to small for me.

I found new 1000.1s on ebay for 500-600 but thats the best I could find.

Later

 

not interested in my PPI DCX1500 ?

 

Say what you want but I have had 4 sony amps and they all where over rated.
Now all my home audio is sony. They make some kick ass home audio **** but there car stuff is just cheap to me.

I was very skeptical at first when my cousin suggested this amp to power my L5

but after using it for a year I cannot believe how efficient this amp is. Good price too!!
