looking for a amp...

[millertime 12]

so i am wanting to buy a new amp for my Focal KRX2's ...they are 2 ohm... i will post specs below for the speakers... right now i have them ran off a candence TRX 3004 bridged.. they seem to like power.. i bought the Boss audio zed built amp and was going to try it.. but after getting it and seeing how they want the power wire to hook thru the little spade connectrion it kind of turned me off .. going to be hard to find a way to hook my real 4 gauge power wire to it... so anyway.. now i am going to buy another amp... i want something that sounds good.. i was thinking of the Zed audio Kronos.. wanting to spend around $400.00 .. so would this be a good choice ? i have a sundown saz 1500d running my 15 Xcon.. so i just need a amp to run the focals... thanks for any input....

that zed looks solid, if you have the $ I would get it.

Are your comps a true 2ohm? That may be a problem if you are bridging a 4ch.

Thanks....... i have had my 4 channel running the focals for 7-8 months... seems to work fine.... i am just wanting a better quality amp to get the best sound i can for the 400.00 i have to spend.... i have never taken a volt meter to my focals to see if they are a true 2 ohm... just going but what they say they are...

Yeah I though the same thing when I first seen my Boss Amp, I was like not these terminals. Then luckily I had some 8-gauge wire with 8 gauge spade terminals and used those to hook up to the amp. You can still use your 4 gauge just got get some terminals for it or got some strands off and use 8 gauge terminals (the terminals give it a way better look).

If they are true 2 ohms speakers then I would get a 2 channel amp that has the power need you need, I just think that Zed Audio may be a little too much unless you keep the gains all the way down. But if you want headroom then go for it, its a beast of an amp as Im looking to get one as well.

ZED no longer uses those terminals, they use terminal blocks.

i just went and bought the Kronos ..... i will find a use for the Boss amp... i am still happy with it for what it cost....

i bought the Boss audio zed built amp and was going to try it.. but after getting it and seeing how they want the power wire to hook thru the little spade connectrion it kind of turned me off

The amp is telling you something. For that amount of power, 4ga isn't necessary

Wow, that is really how they spec those?? Peak power summed by both drivers. Shame on them :( The 2 ohms isn't particularly friendly either and the trade-offs on mids don't make sense. Not that these won't do what you want them to, but the way that Focal has marketed them turns me even further off to their products.

Slap on that Boss and see how they sound

i have had the focals in my truck for all summer run off my candence TXA 3004 bridged.. and with my Xcon in there it sounds pretty good.. . that is why i have 4 ga in there allready.. it is ran to my candence ... so i was just going to swap out to the boss amp with the candence.. tell i noticed the kind of end i would need... now i will wait for the Kronos.... i just hope it will sound nice turned down enough so i don't blow anyy of my components....
