Contemplating New Sub Amp.......

Recommended Posts

I've been considering getting a new sub amp, mainly looking to switch to class D for the increased efficiency. I'm currently running a Rubicon 702 on my sub and a 100w amp on my highs, and my lights dim at night when driven hard. My final system will consist of about double that much power, so I'm looking to switch my sub amp to something more efficient since I don't want to do any electrical upgrades other than upgrade the battery.

I'm looking for something that'll do ~700-800w into 4ohm, 1200w+ into 2ohm, and being 1ohm stable would be nice just to keep my sub options open in the future. Had my eye on a RF T10001bd since I've seen some pretty insanely high efficiency ratings on the birthsheets (recall seeing some around 85%). Also considering things like the Diamond D5 1200.1, Kicker KX1200.1, and some Memphis products

But, I'm also very interested in the new Zed's. I could strap a pair of Miniliths for my 800w @ 4ohm, and have 1200+ @ 2ohm.

Any thoughts? Advice? Experience? Ideas? Efficiency is the main priority. I'll sacrifice a little power for some increased efficiency.

Arc: Not enough power

Eclipse: Had an Eclipse amp. Really liked it. But I want to try something different

US Amps: Old amps were inefficient as hell. Guess it depends on if the new amps changed that or not.
