hey guys

[Disciple]

I got a new sub and im looking for an amp powerfull enough to give the sub max power, its a jaycar response 250wrms subby. At the moment i have a shitbox boss 1000w Amp powering my 6x9's and sub(bridged) What would be a good amp to buy without spending much. Im on a limited budget

What price ranges can i expect.

[TIMMMAYYY]

a good sub for that amp. buy a Jaycar 2x150wrms amp Ideal for your sub and puts out about 350wrms. Dont worry ya wont blow it up.

Theres a top-of-the-line jaycar 350w rms (@ 4 ohm) monoblock amp (for subs) thats around $400 (less if you shop around). For a new amp, that comes with lots of options including a remote for bass control, thats pretty darn good. If you can get it for $300 or so i'd highly recommend it.

[b0neR]

What is your budget anyway?

[Disciple]

maximum around $300, im doing some mods to the car for now also so after that i will pretty much be broke

How about an Audison SRx2?

[Disciple]

[Fhrx]

They retail at $299.

I do them for forum buddies for around $256.

Fhrx, i've got 1 little problem though..

At the moment i have 1 1000watt boss amp, and 1 500watt kenwood amp. The kenwood amp is only powering my crossovers (using 2 channels, i think) and the boss amp is powering my sub and 6x9's. What would you recommend i do?

a) Take the 500watt kenwood amp out, buy a 2channel Audison to power my sub, and use the boss to power 6x9's and fronts?

B) Throw the boss away and use the kenwood for 6x9's and fronts?

Would the gain in sound be worth the money i would spend to get another amp? I've also got to consider installation fee's because i have no idea on how to wire an amp

Say i did buy the Audison amp, would u be able to wire the stuff up for me? Let me know, because i will be doing something about my setup in the next few months..

Audison SRx2 Two Channel Amplifier

Ideal for factory sound systems, SRx 2 insures uncommon functionality and performances.

65w RMS x 2 (4 Ohms) - 85w RMS x 2 (2 Ohms) - 170w RMS x 1 (4 Ohms)

that would be around the same amount my boss amp is powering, have i got the right info?

If thats the case, there wouldnt be much of an increase? Someone correct me if im wrong.

Boss 1000watt and Kenwood 500 watt? Remember one thing you have to realise that those amps are only outputting a fraction of their quoted power. A serious 1000 watt amp will be nearly a meter long usually.

Disciple, are you open to suggestions regarding your system dude? If you don't mind me saying, this is what I'd suggest you do.

1. Put the $300 to one side.

2. Sell both your existing amplifiers.

3. Buy a single quality powerful amplifier (something like an Audison SRx3).

4. Run your fronts and sub with the above amp ( 75 RMS to each from and 250 RMS to the sub).

5. Run the rears off your deck.

There you go. Once you have thrown in some sound deadening to strenghen up the front stage sound and quality cable to interconnect the entire thing, you'll have a beautifuly crisp sounding clean system that can blow your head off every now and again.

I'm gonna have to have a chat with u soon

Also, whats the best price u can do for the audison SRx3?

1more question, is there anything similar to the audison in terms of power and quality but abit cheaper? Money is a big factor for me unfortunately

/me goes lookin for a job

[Fhrx]

SRx3's retail for $697. I'll do them for you guys for a fraction over $600.

Regarding smalled and / or cheaper amps, I wouldn't recommend going to far under that sort of power as you'll find you run into distortion if your amplifier is not up to your demands.
