Blown Amp

98stangv6 · April 8th, 2008, 10:38 AM

I just blew my amp this weekend. Its a Pioneer 800W amp. I got it from best buy with the 4 year warranty. But they dont carry my amp anymore, if anything, they'll upgrade it to something else or give me the money that i paid for it. If they do that what would be a good amp to buy. My amp is around $100..

You do know, we have an AUDIO section.

a good amp by power output? or a good amp by a good brand amp. if you want cheap power you can get a 2000w american legacy amp for around 150. But if you want a GOOD amp....(personally from recommending my brother to getting one)...soundstream makes amazing amps. Go on ebay and see if you can pick up one of their tarantula series for cheap.

A good amp thats cheap: Hifonics

justinsstang · April 8th, 2008, 11:20 AM

getting a like 300 watt amp from alpine,memphis,rockford,or kenwood would be the equivalent of like a 2000 watt cheap crap amp from walmart. 300 watt alpine is like 300 dollars brand new.

shadow5403 · April 8th, 2008, 11:22 AM

soundstream IS a good amp, and i would rather have that over rockford fosgate.

justinsstang · April 8th, 2008, 11:23 AM

Alpine Electronics of America, Inc. - MRP-F600

i'd actually get that one. prices have went up on everything in 08 tho

justinsstang · April 8th, 2008, 11:24 AM

i've never heard soundstream. wont reccommend it unless i've heard it and it sounds good

shadow5403 · April 8th, 2008, 11:27 AM

Soundstream

My brother has an 800w tarantula series one....and it pushes 2 12" Infinity Kappa Perfects VERY nicely. No heating issues or anything.

justinsstang · April 8th, 2008, 11:55 AM

is that a soundclip? im on the skool computers so i cant watch it. maybe when i get home ill listen. ty

ESG-642T · April 8th, 2008, 12:07 PM

Its the website.

rollin_loud · April 8th, 2008, 01:40 PM

Soundstream makes VERY good quality stuff...we have 2 12" soundstream T5 subs and a soundstream picasso series 1000w mono amp in the stang and it thumps hard....the magnets on the subs will literally mess up a crt screen from like 1.5 feet away...they weigh about 45 lbs apiece...but take it from personal experience...soundstream is the shit!!

Onemanzu · April 8th, 2008, 02:04 PM

this has nothing at all to do with V6 mustangs

shadow5403 · April 8th, 2008, 02:04 PM

Well their not the _best_ buy any means.
But they do make good products.

shadow5403 · April 8th, 2008, 02:16 PM

"goo" to me is great frequency response and high sensitivity. Infinity kappas perfect subs 18 - 150 hz @ 96db

infinity component system 45 -25k @ 95db

there are many good amps...as long as the are using mosfets.....but id prefer soundstream

98stangv6 · April 8th, 2008, 03:55 PM

I got my amp replaced just now.. they gave me a kenwood 1000W Mono bridgeable amp for free.. they also said my sub was blown and i dont how but they also gave me a free sub

shadow5403 · April 8th, 2008, 04:04 PM

good deal.

98stangv6 · April 8th, 2008, 04:06 PM

Yup im pretty excited about it.. I like it a lot, it sounds like a 12" no joke. Im about to make a custom rear seat delete with 2 12's in it.
