I was checking out this phoenix gold R30.0:1 monoblock. It's supposed to put out 3000 watts at 2 ohms. Anyone seen one or have experience with one? I was also looking at the orion 2500d but it needs to be at 1ohm to get 2500 watts. I am either going to replace my 8000 sreies MTX's with 2 JL10W7's, W6's, or 12" 9500 MTX's and I need more power. I like the idea of the R30.0:1 for 3000 watts in the same space as my kicker 1200.1. My other option is to add the second 1200.1 I had earlier planned too add to my system.

Anyone know if that 3000 watts at 2ohms is an exaggeration?

Octanes are PG's entry level amps designed for the mass market but are pretty decent performers. The 30.1 is a Class D amp rated at (I believe) 2200 watts RMS into 2 ohms/1100 watts into 4 ohms. The 3000 watts is a peak number. No doubt it can hit 3K, but it cannot sustain it. And it is 2-ohm stable and cannot handle anything lower. The 30.1 is a rare amp. It was not made for very long and is no longer a shipping model. Heat problems forced PG to stop building it from what I've read.

So what other choices are out there to get more power than my 1200.1 Kicker? I could add another one, but I'd like to find something that would steadily put out at least 2000 watts. A friend tested mine at 1.3 ohms and it actually puts out 1550 watts at peak. I know I will need more to run the 2 9500's that I am going to use to replace my 3 8000 series subs.
