I Have a Pioneer Premier TS-W5102SPL   on the way and am looking for 1 big, or 2 strappable, (or multi strappable) amplifiers to power the beast.

Taking suggestions, but would like to stay away from Rockford, Alpine, etc. etc.   What have you guys used out there?

The sub is 6000W Peak 2500W RMS

Give me SUGGESTIONS!!!

Why not one big amp that gives you the power you need at 1 ohm? MTX, Bassworx comes to mind right away.

Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.

the original post says (1) big or (2) strappable.

MTXs largest amplifier only does 3750 @ one ohm, and is not 1 ohm "strappable.

I have never heard of Bassworx amplifiers before. I thought they only made enclosures.... but ill check out their website.

Any other real world experiences with any other brands at such a high power level?

thanks!

Why not get the Pioneer PRS-D1200SPL or you could get a Rockford T2001bd its rated @ 2000 rms @ 1 ohm but most birth sheets for it show around 2500 rms or higher.

I would guess because the biggest amp Alpine currently makes is only 1000 watts x1 @ 4 ohms.

The sub has 2 2ohm voice coils. You could power each with an Alpine PDX1000.1.

So, you don't need 2 strappable amps. In fact, you could use 2 completely different brands of amps on this sub.

Oops, double post.

This is what I would do -2 PDX1000.1's.

Keep in mind, enclosure design/build is just as, if not more, important than raw power.

I was looking for the most bang for the buck (putting rockford & alpine in the gutter)

I just figured sometimes, you can purchase smaller amps that are strappable to get more power out of each and lowering the overall cost.

I will take a look at the suggestions made, but am also looking for more.

Thanks!!
