New Amp... maybe??

[Unrthdxdream 0]

Hey guys so heres the deal... got a DLS CA31 amp powering my whole system right now... which consists of a pair of DLS R6As for components and a Sound Splinter Rli-10 sub downfired in about .8 cubes sealed.. this is all in a regular cab truck so i was trying to save on space with an all in one amp when i built my system but the amp has been problematic... in the first month it was in a transistor went out... and now bout 10 months later it started hissing at me.. so i sent it back for repair again and half the board was fried...

anyways im contemplating getting a new amp depending on how the DLS does when i get it back.. i would like a 3ch unit but my only problem is my sub is dual 4 ohms so i would need to find a 4ch amp that is 2ohm stable when bridged... or another 3 ch like this.. i think the problem is this lil DLS amp is trying to power too much... it only produces 75w rms for my speakers and 280 rms for my sub... which doesnt leave any headroom cause the speakers are rated for 90w rms and the sub can handle from 300-400w rms...

anyone have any advice for an amp to power my whole system? id like to get something with some headroom this time any help would be greatly appreciated..

I feel you..

I got a reg cab Dakota

I opted for the (2) Arc 2chl amps

& used a SS RL-i8 in a custom centerconsole Im still making that..

I gotta take a look it seems tobe a lil harder to find that you would think

Peace troy

look into a small memphis belle. it's a 5 channel, and at 2 ohm on the sub side will give you 250-300wrms. and you will have an extra set of channels left over to go active up front!!!

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i dunno mrray i think i need a lil more for the sub than that... its gettin ~280 now and if i upgrade i want it to get more around 350-400.. not sure how my components would like being active either...

///M5 pointed out a couple amps to me... the Phoenix Gold Xenon 200.4 which is out of production but i really like the looks of it and then also the Kicker kx 700.5.. i would bridge 4 of the channels on the kicker down to 2 and push some serious power to my comps..

Man i just wish the PG xenon was still in production... I'm keepin my eye out for a used one though..
