Amplifier Choice

[G74]

IF any1 knows anything about Lanzar amplifiers quality and if they will hold up at alot of power. I would like a little insight..

Lanzar is commonly thought of to be low end. However, I know the VIBE and OPTI series are suppose to actually output rated power. The VIBE 1200D is only like $210 and actually outputs 1200WRMS. :eek:

Thanks I am lookin at a Vibe Series 1600 watt to go on 2 Alpine Type R 12's, Lookin at a new 4600MP Pioneer head unit, and later getting All Mb quart Highs with a 6 channel amplifier

I've actually heard a system in a truck that was built with all Lanzar subs and amps. I was VERY impressed by it. I'm not sure exactly what models he was running, but I know the amps he was running were the VIBE series but the thing pounded HARD. For the omney you give, a high power VIBE series is worth it.

thanks for the info man

210 dollars an 1200 watts rms! Holy crap...

Or you could just happen to find a MTX 1501D on e-bay for $200 like me [img]smile.gif[/img] ... 1500 watts RMS X 1 , good name, for $200! Keep looking, you might just find one!

Kicker amps are also pretty good. I paid 267.00 for the KX 600.1 it tested out at 760watts x1. I have a friend that has the 1200.1 and got it off Ebay for a reasonable price and that tested out at something like 1400watts x1

I second the suggestion for Kicker amps.

Also, a Hifonics Brutus 1500 is awesome for the price and power.

I use to have the JBL 600.1 powering 2 subs and it did pretty well. I can only imagine what the 1200.1 would do for subs. I recommend Kicker (like I did above) and JBL amps to a lot of people.

I have 2 lanzars....a 1000W for my fronts and a 1500W running at 1 Ohm for my 2 subs.....they sound awesome but I'm sure most would if you bother to use a line driver to boost your HU signal.

So what are you saying? That most amps will sound awesome if you use a line driver?

Also what are you running in your fronts that takes 1000 watts?

In the pic you can see it's a 4-channel amp. And that's probably max power. So that would make it 500W. Which would be 125x4@2ohms. When run to components, it would give them 62WRMS a piece. And if it not rated in max power, it would be 120WRMSx4@4ohms.....still not unheard of. Sounds reasonable, but I could be wrong. ;)
