I am looking for an amp that produces approx. 3000-5000w @1ohm (or I guess .25 ohms is an option as well). I will be competing for the first time next year, and will be in street B. I am basically looking for the cheapest power. Any suggestions?

I got just over 3kw from a pair of PAvx2200's and just over 4kw from AB200.1's off of one Hawker 1700
so ya, it's possible... and I've seen even more

There are quite a few. We got over 5k from 2 Z1's in Street A.

I could see 7k maybe 8k from 4 in street B.

For you I think VR4000D would be your best bet.

I'll talk to you on MSN.

Well first off Drew is running a DD9515 with 0.5 ohm coils.

I say a single DDZ1 @ .25ohm, or a single VR4000D @ 1ohm. My 4000D made 900 watts more then the Z1 in my car.

hey there not cheap but you can find them used - an american bass 150.1 will more then likely pop that dd for you - i know my 200.1 popped normans 2-RE-12's with no problem - the 150.1 will do about 3000 watts @ .25 ohm's and 14.6 volt's and your going to need a very good battery you might talk to pat and robert at team shadow and they can hook you up - for the battery pat and robert know quite a few people and know where to go to get the right stuff but the amp you might try the trempro classifed's
