Need a amp thats put out over 2000wrms at 1 ohm. Powering a dual 2 ohm sub.

Some options i have found:

DD - Z1b
SPL Dynamics - D6 or D5
Hertz - HP1KD
Alpine - 2x PDX1.1000

With the DD and SPL Dynamics amps, because I dont like the look of them, I will hide them, the alpine and Hertz would be on show. I would prefer a showy amp, but not bling.

Anyone know of any other good looking amps that will cater to my needs?


regards

Antony

Really, you don't like these?

Phil

Not when they are going next to 4 of these phil. Sorry.

Alpine is going to release new Vpower soon that will be 2000 watts dont know when its due tho heres link to usa alpine
2000 watt @ 2 ohms alpine

not real showy, but the eAudio will do 2kW at 12V into 1 ohm.

My FS thread

Known about this for a while but need it at 1 ohm, plus not as good looking as the PDX's.



Sorry Pulse-R, looking for brand new. can you still get them brand new?

Hifonics XX Hercules? Rockford T20002b1? More interesting looking, but not by much.

We could have the end plates gold plated for you.

Phil

^ How about the whole amp?

Have you thought about Atomic Amps?
*edit*
Atomic's don't match your color scheme

Could be cost prohibitive.

Maybe look at our M3, smaller footprint.

Phil

No I hadn't, whats there range like for over 2000wrms into 1 ohm?

They have a 2200, 3000, 5000 and the monster 7000.
They look really cool but they're black more tough looking than classy if that makes sense?

Thanks, the 3000.1 is probably what im after as some headroom is always nice and will help if i burp it. Whats the RRP of it?

eAudio is still available from NZ

Simon why the hell do you have an E?

Those alpine amps look the goods for me 1500 at 4 will power the focal 27k nicely!!!
shame it doesnt match the mrd-m1005's ive got for the doors

Try and find a Tru-Tech Sledge Hammer?
Failing that an Arc Audio SE4000? ( i think that's the model).

Both are insanely high quality (and sexy looking) monoblocks!

Dont know about the sledge looking sexy but the Arc is very nice but for that price I would go the Sinfoni desiderio.

Audison VRx1.500 could go with the Chrome Shadow model if you wanted, but unsure if it would match colour scheme with the other amplifier.

That amp looks very nice you got there SStealth

Maybe it could be polished, although the ends don't suit.....

Phil

Not sexy? She must have ultimate charisma then because everyone who looks her up and down in person falls in love

I loved the SH-1 when I first got it, but that changed.

Phil

Thats because you solely wanted to use it for SPL

There is pretty close to nothing that can beat it for a daily IMO.

SStealth I think a z1b with the center piece plated gold would be classy - even more so than the whole amp gold. May not be tooooo exy?!

Zapco C2k 9.0X, 2200rms Bridged @ 2 and 4ohm or you can have 2 x 1100rms @ 1 ohm stereo it's about $3600 USD though, or if you wanted to be silly you could get it's big brother ala sledgehammer style it's two 9.0x stacked in the same case.

No, it was in a music system.

Phil

Mmats pro audio D2900.1 damn nice amp 2100wrms @1 ohm

There's something we can agree on.
I think that would look hot.

If you already are putting in 4 of those gorgeous Sinfoni amps why not just get any old mono and hide it

Had a look at Ground Zero? Not sure on their availability but some real nice stuff there. Not too blingy but not boring either. Their woofers look good too.

The Hertz HP1KD would be a good amp to consider, the unit delivers 3,200 RMS (CEA rated) @ 1 ohm, we have in tests run these at a much lower impedance, flat strap without a hickup or the temp raising past normal. If you strap two together you get 6,600 RMS @ 2 ohm.

If price is a problem the HP1D is less and delivers 2,300 RMS @ 1 ohm or 4,000 RMS @ 2 ohm when strapped.

Please remember manufacturers do not give warranty when any equipment is used outside the state opperating specifications.

scrub off that j, fairchild sig first though..

Sorry guys, the only one that catches my eye and is enough power at 1 ohm is the hertz HP1KD, and Phil it will only be running one woofer rated at 2000wrms at 1ohm daily and in some comps, and if it fails you can bet i'll be claiming warranty.

However, I have seen some nice test reviews on the DD Z1 and Z1a and it is more than I need and I could hide it, though it would be hard because its huge compared to the sinfoni's ( I think I could fit all 4 sinfoni amps into the footprint of the Z1a). Similar, the SPL Dynamics D6 and Atomic 3000.1 could be hidden aswell as they are similar looking to the Z1a.

And that Sledgehammer is huge and rectangular and not nicely finished in my opinion so its a no no. And I dont think I could hide it under anything.

I guess i'll just keep looking until its time to buy incase something nice pops it head up.

Thanks for everyones input, greatly appreciated.

Antony

That's why I'd look at our M3. A lot smaller footprint and well over 2400Wrms for $1899.

Phil

I never even heard it yet... but I love my Z1.

I sleep with it next to me.

how about one of these?

u-dimension pro x 2k1d
2000W @ 1ohm
very sexy I think, not sure on price though

if your still looking there are a few options in Hifonics that are over the 2k mark, if you need it at 2ohm you can run a XXV-THOR 2, which is 2300RMS @ 2 ohm, 3000RMS @ 1 ohm. ($2999)

I second the Hertz HP1KD. Got one running my '06 XXX 15 at 3200WRMS @ 1 ohm as a daily driver. Made 140.1dB on a TL, not in an SPL enclosure either. In my opinion, its one sexy amp too

The SPL Dynamics amps look much better in real life. Its like a shadow/polished/machined chrome effect, not just silver. Its hard to explain, but IMO the pictures on the website dont do them justice.

Depending on what your after, and the concept you want to go with you can try the new Brutus range, (this is a pretty bad picture) but they are shadow chrome with brushed aluminium, illuminated Hifonics logo and of blue LEDs that stream light across the amplifier, the Zeus range also has the complementing heat sink in a 4 channel

BXI 2008D (2000 RMS @ 1OHM) or for a little more room the BXI 2608D (2600 RMS @ 1 OHM) - there are only 4 of these in the country so it not something that you will see in every second Hyundai that drives past.
