Amp for 2x Oberton XB1600's

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Managed to pickup two of the XB1600's used for a great price but now need an amp for the two of them.
Will be loading them in Hogs, and have a budget of 350 (not very much I know)

Was considering bridging the RCF HC3200 down to 4ohm but i cant find much information on this illusive amplifier so unsure as to how it would perform, as wouldnt have headroom so to speak.

Have also been recommended the Proline 3000, which I know is a beast bridged at 4ohm... everyone always says though "get a second hand Proline" which is all well and good, but I can never seem to find one for sale lol.

Any other recommendations? 

Cheers

	Wondering the same thing here, was looking into getting a t.amp TSA 4-1300 cause it can output 4k@ 8ohm through two channel's but some reviews suggest that it's not the best amp for subs and other people say its alright, for the price it sounds really good tbf but I'm still not sure...

	for those beefy drivers and that budget you may get JBL MPX1200 and bridge it , but I would save a bit more and get qsc 4050/5050
	TRENDSETTER SOUND SYSTEM

	Aye, wasn't particularly keen on the thought of buying a cheap amp for a high end driver

	In the end I saved the extra money and bought a Matrix 7k, haven’t looked back since :)

	Yes, ideally I’d want double the headroom but the Matrix is plenty.
