WANTED: 1000watt or higher

[Tom Lynn]

I have to Polk Audio subs in my truck and I need an amplifier must be two or more channels and I want it cheap... as long as it is 1000watts or more and two or more channels i want it and I only wanna pay like 50 bucks and I dont care who its made by new or used dented or perfect as long as it works.

[Giz400ex]

You might have to up your price for a 1000 watt amp. For $50, your search could be very difficult. Try ebay:D

[Guy400]

I'd like a Lambo Diablo; yellow, no dents and runs perfect but I am willing to buy new tires for it. I'll only spend $1000

:D

[elite ATV1]

i got a 1200watt amp 2 channel
gotta find it though...name a decent price.

[Tom Lynn]

once you find it and look it over and make sure it works shoot me a price

HAHA! that sums it up nicely...

Well dude, your gonna have MONTHLY payments of 50 bucks. Maybe it'll pay off, the amps could be sold for scrap. :rolleyes:

I'm not sure how many of these woofers you are powering, but I would bed that 1000+ is going to be WAY too much anyways.

[Tom Lynn]

they are two polk audio 12s and they are both each registered for 1400 watts.... I win

[Fender Bender]

You mind telling me what model? According to their website, the most continuous power handling is 400W RMS.

[Tom Lynn]

comp series they're 3 yrs old I doubt their even on there

Hmm... closest thing I see to comp series is components, and computer speakers. Kicker makes comp series woofers though, maybe you got your brands all switched around, lol.

In all honesty, you aren't going to get crap with 50 dollars. Do it right the first time, and save some money. I would look into some of the older Kicker and Alpine amps.

This is a couple of good websites to help you learn also:

http://www.the12volt.com/

Use good judgement, good luck to you.

ive got a JBL BP1200.1 mono amplifier that ill send you for $150 plus shipping. Should put out a little more than 1200 watts at 12 volts

[mx400]

polk doesn't and never has made anything w/ 1400 watt rms bud. Hate to tell you. Why don't you go some research before you go and make all these assumptions and stuff. The Solo 12" L7s I have are rated @ 750 rms a piece and I know your Polk junk doesn't have a higher rms than these even in a 15". Why don't you try a nice 400.2 amp.

that's a helluva price...if i wasn't already rocking a modded MTX 1501D, i'd probably take that off your hands

[Jingle 11]

maybe thats the peak but i also seriously doubt that. I have kicker comp vr's and they are rated at somewhere around 500 rms. No way your 3 year old polks are rated that. U get what you pay for in car audio, scooter.

I am interested in buying this I have the money right now

you have a pm;)

thats at peak not rms

You need to know the rms not the peak:rolleyes:

[Tom Lynn]

well then do yall no they are the EX12 series II @ 4 ohms

[Screamin440]

Like almost everyone else has said, you get what you pay for. A $50 1000 watt amp isn't going to realistically push 500 watt rms on ANY day. You would be better off buying an amp rated at less wattage. I bought my Punch 500.2 that's rated at 532rms(so says the birth certificate for it) for $250 new.

[Fender Bender]

Continuous power handling: 150 watts; http://www.polkaudio.com/downloads/manuals/car/EXIISubManual.pdf

Hey I was right! I'll be damned... Anyways, if you found a decent amp (mono or 2 channel) that is rated at 250W-300W RMS @ 4 ohms, then you will probably be more than happy.

EX is Polk's cheap stuff. You probably need 100 RMS watts from a quality amp to make those work. I'd sell 'em and buy one good quality used sub. As far as amps go, expect to pay $1 per RMS watt for a decent amp. I'd put my Soundstream Reference 25x2 amp up against a Pyramid 1000 watt amp any day. Don't buy crap, you'll be sorry.

no

[Bobbs07]

I have 3 JL audio 10s in the powerwedge box, good shape, with a phoenix gold 2500 watt amp, 900$ brand new back when bought. Its extremely loud for what it is. Make me an offer

[Jingle 11]

200 :devil:

thanks bama :D

to the other guys...go do some research, then you can talk car audio with the knowledgable folks

couple of quick questions...can you find retail prices on the Rockford Fosgate T30001BD and the JBL Crown A6000GTI? Do those prices fit in with your $1/watt pricing scheme?

important to remember, these are extreme examples, but IMO should be the closest to $1/watt because of the extreme power output. power is cheap...big power isn't

:D

Okay. I found the A6001GTI for $5995, almost exactly $1 per watt. I found the T3001BD for about $1800, about $.60 per watt. I was using my statement as a rough guideline, and it's a lot more realistic than the POS amps out there that claim 1000 watts for $99. I don't claim to be an expert, but I've been in to car audio for a long time, and I know the difference between crap and decent components.

only problem is, the A6000GTI will do 8-10Kw with a real stout electrical, and the RF will do 4.5Kw or more.

power is a lot cheaper now than it is used to be - at one point in time, your previous statement was true. as amp technology, and technology in general has advanced, power has gotten cheaper.

i will agree that you can't get 1kw for $100, but you can get damn close nowadays if you're willing to listen with your ears and not your eyes

You may know a little about car audio, but atleast back your answers with some facts instead of just saying "no" in your initial post like a tard.

And just because these amplifiers will produce more power if they are backed by a hell of an electrical system, doesn't mean that it is advertised that way.

And I think that F-16Guy is still right in saying $1/w in most cases, with practical applications. I think people who are going to be buying $6k amplifiers are going to have enough knowledge about car audio to know what they are going to be getting themselves into, so they wont have to use any shopping tricks.

Hope this makes sense to you. :cool:

sometimes you have to ruffle a few feathers before people will take note ;)

also, i didn't want to type out a big answer if no one was going to read it

i would also like to see some examples from you of $1/watt amps, because their are far more amps that go against this theory than for it
