Well, it finally happened. Four whole years with a Digital Audio class D mono amplifier in a van that never locked... pretty good, I'd say. They also got me for my MTX 4 channel amp that I had running to my door speakers.
ANYWAY, the moral of the story is:
I would like to purchase another 1ohm stable amp that is a TRUE 1000 watts. (class D is what I had in mind - but HEY, convince me otherwise if I should be convinced)
I need the best bang for my buck, and I haven't researched amplifiers for some time now. Please list the options I have under $300.00! Thanks, as always, ecoustics!!! |

Kevin may be able to help you. i don't know what his prices are but he sells Sundown amps.
I'd also look for a eDNine.1 You can get them relatively cheap. Check out ca forum. |

Ask kevin ( lowhz01@yahoo.com ) about a RD 1000.1 or Sundown SAE-1000d. Those are the only 2 good amps I can come up with that may be in your price range. |

Good call, I forgot those amps were for sale now. That AQ amp is probably the best value around, good quality 1200w amp for $279 |

Yeah... those old MTX amps were pretty nice, eh? Same thing with the old Rockford Fosgate subs... and Cerwin Vega... it's a shame when a company gets bought out (or whatever) and the new owners exploit the reputation to make quick cash.
On that note: Audioque seems promising. That sure is one hell of a sales pitch on their website! lol You can tell whoever wrote it must have been tweekin' at least a LITTLE bit - but hey... very well thought out and very well written! lol
But, I gotta say... a digital voltage meter on the amp would be kinda nice. Would I be able to hook one up to the Audioque or is there another amp with a digital voltage meter than can rival the Audioque?
As for the door speakers: what's a good replacement for my old 4 channel MTX?
Thanks for all your responses - and I hope you guys post much more info for me. Thanks. |

Yeah old MTX amps were good
As far as I know, for that amount of power that AQ is the best value out there right now.
For a speaker amp,
US Amps merlin
Sundown Audio
Kicker
Alpine
and there are others |

will the Audioque amp go into protection mode if i push it past 1ohm (let's say.... if i hook up 6 - 4ohm voice coils all together... will it keep throwing hooks or shut down?)
also, is there a bass boost knob or what exactly is this dash mounted remote referring to?
thanks, everyone.
i always appreciate your help. |

ok...
but about the bass knob: is that what the dash mounted reference is on the Audioque?
Actually, does anybody here actually own one yet?
thanks, guys and gals.

MTX USED to make good amps
Not anymore though. They haven't for a long time.
The dash mounted thing is the bass knob. |
