well it's time for me to get a new amp and im kinda stuck on what to get.
um...

im gonna be running the polk mm12
money isnt a big problem, but i just do not want to pay anything over 400 for a new amp.

but here's what im looking at:

Would a class D or AB be better to run for just sound qaulity?
any if you guys have any other suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.

    class ab amps sterotypically have better sonic characteristics than D's do.

    why do u wnat a 1500 watt at 1 ohm class D brutus for use with a single 4 ohm coil 500 watt sub?

    I say the Zeus 600watt or the PG 500.2

    however i'd try to buy something new not used... unless you're buying it from me and i'm in a good mood, a used amp most likely is one with issues.

    u can also take a look @ www.mitekfactoryoutlet.com and click on car audio - then click on amplifiers - then scroll down to "Blue Thunder Pro 150.2" -- its like 240 bucks refurbed (probably has a whole new board). its a killer amp, and the specs lie - they'll do roughly 450 - 500 x 1 at 14 volts if not more... buit like tanks too.

    hehehe, that link gave me an idea for an interim setup :D:D

    3 8" bluthunder legend's with the 12ohm vc's running at 4ohm off the pro150x2r :D:D that'd probably sound pretty sweet :D:D

    blue thunder extreme = *happy smiley face*

    legend's were "legendary" for coming unglued and being royal pieces of choad.

    however that 150.2 is pimpin...

    get the 150.2 and the littler one too...

    run the fronst off the 150.2 at like 140-ish each and run the backs off the littler one at like 75-90 each. i think its a pro752 or something.
