Need amp suggestions I have a 10 inch 800 RMS sub @ 3 ohms. had an audiobahn 1801x amp but sold it. now i need a new amp. any suggestions??? i tried the alpine m500 which is 500x1@2ohms and it isn't as loud as the audiobahn which was 560X1 @ 2 ohms of course the alpine is a class d and the audiobahn is a/b. any suggestions are appreciated. |
Class D and Class A/B make no difference in how loud things will get.. this boils dwn to a matter of how much U wanna spend.. a JBL BP1200.1 would push about 800Wrms exactly at a 3ohm load.. |
THANX, that amp seems perfect for my application. appreciate the help. btw. why am i still a newbie. i've been a member since november last year? |
I never look at member status..some diamond members are worse than newbies... you are who you are..not what a ranking on this says .. Cheers Mohawk |
i've heard class d amps have a better chance of frying than a a/b amp is this true? also heard that you should NEVER hook up an amp at 1 ohm even it it says its 1 ohm stable. why do they make 1 ohm stable amps then? |
So, I downloaded the manual for the JBL 1200.1 and noticed that it can draw 117 amps. How will that work w/ my stock alternator? |
YUp..music only represents a 33% load with most rap and dance.. about 45% with Bass CD's..Also, you'll only be putting out 66% of that as you'll be wired to 3ohms.. |
thanx again. |
still, 25-30 amps is a decent pull for our alternators... you gonna be using an amp for highs? |
yeah, i have 2 a/d/s 250mx's amps pushing front components and rear coaxes. plus the jbl 1200.1 when i get it, and i'll have 1/2 farad cap to start plus i'll get more if i need it later. I figure i'll run the amp till it dies then i'll get a bigger one btw any one know where to get a good alternator? |
before you go and bye the 1200.1 what kinda sub is it? it could be some pyle thats says it can handel 800 watts but can only handel 250 |
its an Audiobahn alum10x 800rms. not the best, but not exactly crap either. i'm sure it probably can't handle that but i can always turn down the gain or the nonfader on my head unit. personally i think that my sub @ 800wrms will be too loud for me, but its nice to know if i want to thump...I can. |
go with 1 farad |
i'll probably go 1.5 since i already have a 1/2 i'll just buy another 1 farad. also, do you think one company's caps are better than anothers? i mean its just a capacitor right, how do you make a crappy cap? |
