Hey guys!! I would like to use a more powerful/efficient (efficient mostly)
amplifier to drive my subs. Right now I use a Soundstream Reference 700, but when I'm really cranking the bass, the voltage drops from 14 down to around 12 volts, and sometimes lower! I have looked into putting in a HO alternator, the problem is NOBODY (and I have REALLY looked into this including making some phone calls and exchanging Emails) makes an aftermarket HO alternator for a '99 Subaru Forester. So clearly a Class D amp would make a better choice to drive my two subs, a pair of 12" MTX MXS (they are EXACTLY the same as the 7500 series, just silver instead of black). But on Ebay, I see that even USED Class D amplifiers in the 1000 watt RMS range (which is what I'm looking for) do not come cheap, usually over $200 for used, over $400 for new. My wife thinks I have spent ENOUGH on my car system (and I won't even BEGIN to get into what she thinks about the home theater expenses), but I was curious what I might get if I sell my current sub amp, a Soundstream Ref. 700sx. It is in PERFECT working order and in PERFECT physical shape. Any ideas? Is it considered a classic? It would be nice if the proceeds of that sale were enough (or at least close) to afford a good Class D amp. Any thoughts? Any offers (LOL)? Thanks. MOSFET |
