Pair of FP3400 can be done for less than a grand, maybe that's what was meant?

I've just seen that you're in Manchester, I have an Ohm CFU A3 you can have for a steal if you don't mind the weight.

Although I have had my head turned by a powersoft t604, that’s probably a very sensible solution, might well take you up on that. Are you Bowsas mate Kyle by any chance, I think he’s mentioned this to you? |

Hello, why dont you parallel (daisy chain) the two 8 ohm subs together in mono for a single 4ohm connection. Plenty of affordable amps that will give a decent output at 4ohm mono bridge

One of your ohm cfu amps will do 3.2kw mono bridge into 4ohm, thats ample headroom! Second one in stereo for your tops and job done, lovely compact affordable little rig with balls!

Hi Natedub, yes this is how i'm currently running the two Moonsubs off a CFU A2. Would be interesting to know if a bigger better amp in stereo would yield any improvements or not... |

There was a huge price drop on most PKN amps, like XE or XD5002 which outperforms those "t series powersofts" in most sound quality//real sustained power figures. It would likely fit in the ~1K EUR category too: https://www.pknaudio.com/PKN_Shop/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=52 Those T series is a joke-ware, the real powersoft hardware is the K10 and K20.

An X4 and X8 channel pair provides the same SPL as a K20 on multiple real subs, tested and measured, within 0.3dB, even with heavy music. You also need to spend cash on external DSP, Dante interface and more with the PKN. Lead times are also one to two weeks if not next day on the Powersoft. Where can the poster get a demo and test of a PKN amp from a dealer in the UK? PKN don't even have a working website, the links in the menu bar are clearly from a half-finished template, with the XD series button linking to "https://www.pknaudio.com/PKN_Shop/camera" which gives a 404 error, as well as every other button being broken. Doesn't fill you with confidence. Edited by toastyghost - 18 November 2019 at 4:39pm |

Whatever you say, pal. Having actually used most of the T-series line in real-world conditions, I can say they do their job just fine. I've had a T602 bridged into 4ohm and pushed it 6dB into clip. It held up very well, and got the drivers nice and warm even though the port was passing air directly over the magnets. Chris
