[wowitswil]

would like to upgrade from my pioneer amp and 2x 10" alphasonik subs....

currently installed are 4 pioneer tweeters with 4 infinity kappa perfect and a pioneer p3200bt hu.....would like some recommendations...and price range is not above $300?

thanks guys

Do you want an amp for the sub only, or an amp to run everything?

If it's just for the sub, I would get a Pioneer mono amp + a 12" sub + ported box, look in Sonic Electronics, all this would be for less than $300

What's the reason you want to trade out ? Is it old, not loud enough, or just have a few extra bucks and want something new.

Which alphasonics do you have the bottom line ones ? mid or the mack daddy top of the line one's

Reason i ask is the 600 and 800 look pretty beefy.

Dude to be honest, I would just try a bigger amp on them, i bet you weren't even hitting half the RMS. (get the model number of your pioneer and we can look that up ) I have been running the Hifonics Brutus Line and have been happy with there stuff. You're asking for Opinions so here's mine :thumbup: Everybody has there personal preference on audio, and i'm not gonna flame any other brand or believe mine is better, it's all on your own personal experience.

This is what i have and i'm pushing two 12 inch kicker comps with no problem @ 1 Ohm

They have an ebay, but these are the guys i ordered two amps from and were pretty good .. http://www.vminnovations.com/product_1270/HIFONICS-BRUTUS-BXi1210D-1200W-Mono-Amplifier.html

[wowitswil]

***** these r what i have in the trunk*****

The basslink is more of a "Bass Filler" than anything, it was my very first "system".

[SeriousBlack]

If you can find one (I'm sure you can), pick up an Alpine PDX 1.600 mono amp. They are compact, run cool, are cheap as they're being phased out for a replacement, and can push a 12" Type R sub like you would not believe.

The next most important investment you will make is in a good sub box or enclosure. Don't go too cheap - minimum .75" MDF. Yes, it's extra weight in the car but if you are asking these questions, I assume you give a rat's a** about your bass.

Good luck

Have you looked into Hifonics BRZ amplifiers (http://www.vminnovations.com/Browse_387/Electronics/Car-Audio-and-Electronics/Amplifiers/Index.html)? I have heard nothing but good stuff about them (BRZ12001D for example). With the coupon I posted above you can get one for fairly cheap.

Cheers,
