hey guys im upgrading from a old power acoustic 2ch ( rated at 960rms bridged at 4 ohms)

the amp i need must put max power at 4 ohms (so i think that means 2 ch brigible is best for me)

im leaning towards more sq then spl, and this amp will power a 1 15" sub (proly kicker comp)

as of now i live in US so i will be buying from sonicelectronix, oh and i have 100$ before shipping to spend LMFAO

Question for you dude, why do you need max power at 4 ohms if you don't even know what subwoofer you will be using?

 

It most likely be 15" kicker comp svc 4ohms

ps: I also drive aveo hatch

 

One 15 eh??? You should get two of those bad boys with about 1500 watts RMS and you'll be able to hit 150dB in that little hatchback. LOL

I used to run 2 tens with 1000 rms, now I want 1 15 with 300rms

 

theres no way your gonna get an SQ outta an amp that cost $100

 

I know but out of that list of amps, some have to be better then others, and put out more power and less cliping

 

So you are upgrading from a Power Acrapstick at 960w rms into amplifiers that are all of less power..... explain this one to me, I have not heard of this approach before.

 

Ok that amp is old and proly does not put out that much. My car has a small alternator and a stock crapy battery so the amp with it's 80 amp draw is killing my car.

I'm selling this amp for 175 usd and picking up a brand new kicker comp 15" so that leaves me with a 100 for an amp.

How does PG 500 watts rms at 4 ohms Briged amps stack up agains other amps on the list?

 

Most would just turn down the gain on the existing amp and keep it.

An amp will only draw as much power as it uses anyway. Given this a 200 Watt amp running at its max will use say 15amps, thus a 1000 watt amp running at 200 watts will also pull 15 amps, minus maybe a few watts for the additional circuitry. But on the same token, a larger amp can run cooler at lower power because it has a larger heat sink that isn't being utilized, so that could help make up for any power losses.

With a careful ear, you could easily keep your existing amp without damaging your sub.
