well just decided to upgrade the subs from 2 mtx roadthunder 10's to 2 alpine type r 10's. so now i'm in the conundrum of not having an amp powerful enough to power them. the subs are DVC 4 ohm and i am looking for a 1 channel amp that puts out around 1000 watts RMS at 1 ohm without breaking the bank. any ideas would be appreciated.

This is 300 before shipping. I am currently considering it as an option for my type R's.

i have the rockford fosgate p1000 amp and it pushes out 1000 watts rms at one 1ohm. its a good amp IMO, i have it powering 2 rockford p3s (12") and doing it WELL.. its a little more then 300 but well worth it

I forgot about the 1ohm part..lol. well umm.... the MA audio HK401sx on woofersect is 100 bucks more but has 1200watts rms @1ohm. might be worth saving up for?

0cavZ24: the alpine wont work as i bought d4 woofers, thanks tho

grimez: how much did the p1000 run you?

I haven't heard much about kenwoods amps but if your just wanting something thats going to put power to the subs, its a good deal, I would suggest saving money for the MA hk401sx if you want something that will make those subs work hehe

that rockford amp is no joke.....its a lil expensive but its a beast! most birth sheets i have seen are all over 1200 watts rms and it will do it with no problem all the time. I have installed a lot of these and some people come back complaining its to loud and return it....go figure if i was you i would save for a couple weeks, you wont regret it....or even a diff amp just spend your money ONE time and you will be happy!

Ok well I'm replaing my mtx 6000 10" subs tomorrow for the type R 1022D's. I'm running with an MTX 6500D. I have sealed enclosure with 1ft vol. I will be rebuilding th boxes eventually but tomorow I am simply swapping the subs. I'll let you know how it goes.

i have a Planet Audio VX4002 2 channel 800 watts amp i am selling... i don't know if it's 1 ohm stable or not, but i used that thing to power 2 subs and it did a great job doing just that.

the rockford p1000-1bd amp cost me about $400 brand new. im also gonna take video of my set up and put it on youtube for everyone to see!

is this a good deal? i can get it for 199 locally and its got sufficient power. i just really dont know how high quality lanzar amps are

If you are looking for a 1 ohm mono amp...the lanzar amp is definately not it. Its only 2 ohm stable

well obviously not but it is 2 ohm stable in stereo, an it puts out a lot of power that way

So would you be willing to go for a 2ohm mono amp if you had to? I do believe that this amp has 2 positive and 2 negative terminals but still can run 2ohm stable and I hear they are quite nice.

that amp looks pretty nice. but id have to use it in 4 ohm. which is fine. what i was implying was that i would be willing to go for a 2 channel amp that puts out around 500W RMS at 2 ohms

the subs you have can each be wired down to 2 ohms and run to the amp. the amp has 2 sets of terminals that accept 2ohm stable subs. if you set it up that way, you will still see a 2ohm load....if i remember right

that amp would see a one ohm load. those 2 sets of terminals are wired in parallel to each other.
