Lanzar VIBE286.
Thoughts?

Will be powering 2 Lanzar HRWDC12's, ported box.

 

no go man. you will be lucky to get 40% of the rated rms. if you want a bit of help picking out a budget amp for those subs, let me know. i am sure i could think of a few that would push those well. also when and if you upgrade would be good to power other subs.

 

The only Lanzar amps really worth considering are the opti's

 

yea the optis are good, i run a 1400D and it does its rated 1100rms at 1.3 ohms. but the lower lines like heritage and max pro or whatever are nowhere near rated power. i bought the max pro 4000 watt one whatever its called for a friend knowing hed only get about 1000 watts out of it but thats all he needs and its a decent price at 250ish american.

 

Stay away from those amplifiers as their specs are highly inflated. That is not the vibe line, it's the "viberant" line (Yes the product # states vibe but i know for a fact this is the viberant line). You will be very dissappointed with the results. The viberant line is chrome with a blue glow rod in the middle. Another amplfier product line to stay away from is the "MXA" series. They have a black heat sink with a grey section on the top with all adjustments.

My suggestion from better to best

1. Vibe and VHC (vibe high current) product line (these amps have just a brushed aluminium or black heat sink with the "vibe" badge).
2. Heritage product line (you'll know it when you see it)
3. OPTI H/C (high current) and OPTI product line (you'll know it when you see it)

I have the OPTI2000D running on OPTI1532D and am very impressed with the results...Search my name in the picture section if you want to have a look...
