Nothing against You or Your friend at all. Unless he found a steal of a deal, that is not something to be recommending. > [@articzap](#): > > my friend has one…they work Oh, im sure it works. That does not mean it sounds like it should, or is doing anything near what it claims. Better yet, take a DMM and ammeter to the thing, tell me how much amperage it drives out. Or, come borrow my o’scope and see just how badly clipped the signal _probably_ is. Lemme guess, it’s got madddd bass b00st too, rite? $150 3kw amps are worth less then Electric Superchagers & Turbonators. ---

I would never by a good brand name amp for $150, there are none that I like they all are complete shit. Cheepest amps I would look at are JL or american tech, AT are really hard to find, maybe even a b and k ---

Maksim2000’s suggestion seems like a solid combo. As for eBay, ewww… :tdown: to “3000w” amps that clip like woah. OT: I thought B & K’s were a bit on the pricer side of things? Or is that just the home stereo side I havn’t looked in years. ---

Eclipse cd4000 $350 Do you want a mono amp or bridgeable?? Mono is stable at 2 ohms while you can bridge most 2 channels only down to 4ohms. What subs are you running?? Kicker zx4001 $300 400watts at 2ohms MTX ta5302 $300 500watts at 4ohms ---
