Hi All,
 
Just wondering if anyone could suggest a good budget amp for running 8 HD15s...
 
I'm thinking T.Amp Proline 3000 - That sorta price range... might need summit bigger?
 
Maybe 2 lower powered amps??
 
I really want to keep the spending below £300... Ebay / Second hand / Whatever... (paid £200 for my current proline 3000 with Ultramizer and Flightcase, which runs 4 x C18 650EL loaded X1s nicely)...
 
Any suggestions or offers appriciated...
 
(bear in mind this is not a money making venture for me, so I'm happy as long as it works / sounds good... the system will not be on the road every weekend).

With one amp you're going to be looking at a 2R load per side, not something I'd recommend generally on bass, and certainly not on a budget amp.

Better going for 2 amps giving ~1000w or greater per ch at 4R.

T.Amp Proline 3000 should be fine as its 2 ohm stable. And on a dutch forum[newline] I saw an open pic of that amp and it had 2 torridal transformers, meaning its well made.
 
I can post that pic up for all to see if you like.
