need help with amp and sub brands.....

[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 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...Amplifier.html

that can be the case.....imma try upgrading the amp and see if theres a difference...=]

[wowitswil]

btw anyone know how the infinity basslinks perform?

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

[The Architect]

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? 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,
Lucky

[sqcomp]

^If I wasn't on a home audio kick right now, I'd be messing with some Arc SE4200's right now...

[pennyracer]
