What's out there in the way of hi drive amps in the 500 watt range? I'd rather not send my flawless G Lee back to Mr. RadioActive so he can match it to an amp. I don't think I could bear to be without my radio for even a couple of days. I'm definitely not gonna let some local dude tear into my radio either. I have a couple of side jobs lined up, so I'm just looking for some ideas for when I get some extra $. I'm looking for around a 500 watt RMS, bi-linear, with variable power, and it's gotta take a 2.5 watt deadkey.

500 watts of RMS? Bi-linear? Humm a texas star 1600V with a mod V driver would be close.
Can you can SUPER EXPENSIVE! Those amps are out of control!

That sweet 16 would be kick **Censored**, but a little out of my scope. 500 watts RMS is probably asking an awful lot for a stock charging system. I'm surely being unrealistic for around $400 or so, and a stock alternator. I just figured I'd shoot for the moon! I'm most definitely open for suggestions. Thanks RA, if I ever win the lotto, I'll have 2 of those Sweet 16s please!

I HAVE A SWP GENERAL LEE AND A DAVEMADE 1X2 PUSHING IT AND I'M GETTING OR MAYBE OVER A LITTLE 400 WATTS. NOW WITH THAT SAID I'M GOING TO GET A DAVEMADE 1X4 IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE!! JUST MY 5 CENT THOUGH. GOOD LUCK ON WHATEVER YOU DECIDE!

Thanks Stickman. Did you let Mike know that you were going to be running an amp when you bought your radio? I told him that I wasn't going to be running an amp (my bad), so my deadkey is 2.5 watts on lo. I haven't seen where it says how many watts input any Davemade amps need. I really need to go ahead and call RA I suppose.

DIRTBOY,
