Franklin Center, Pennsylvania

I'm looking for a 5 channel amp, used or new as long as it's working 100% and in decent shape. 5th channel should be at least 400 watts at 2ohm, ideally more.

so something like an RD900/5 or similar where I can get 70+ watts x 4 channels and around 500w x1 @ 2ohms. The sub is inefficient so I need decent power for that.


Thanks

Why?

Typically a 6 channel amp will not have as much power with bridged channels as a dedicated 5 channel amps sub channel. The 6 channels amps are also usually limited with impedance load when bridged- most being 4 ohms minimum load.

Also, one more requirement: Must have defeatable crossovers to operate full range (at least on the 4 channel section).


Thanks.

Thanks. The reason for the 2ohm stable is because the sub is a 2ohm sub and does nto have great sensitivity, so adequate power will be needed to drive it. A compact 5 channel will save $ for the budget and require less from an install standpoint. I was looking at:
-Soundstream RS5.4500
-JL Rd900/5 used

The sundown also looks like it could work (thanks).

There is a DD d5.1500 on the ddaudio classifieds group page in Facebook.

4x125@4ohm +1x1500@1ohm
Defeatable crossovers as well.
It just large.

If j could fit 2 I'd try and get 2 for my truck but I can't really fit 1 let alone 2.

I personally think this has been my favorite amp I have every owned. The d5.1000 I hate though.

I have no relation to this person or post and while the crossovers cannot be set to fully off they can be set low or high enough to not affect dsp crossovers

I am no fan of JP but this might fit the bill:

Just uhm, pay for his signature and that will add the SQ points you need

I saw that "option"...seems kind of narcissistic!

Some good options provided, thanks folks! Working through some PMs and still looking over the options

Steve, if there’s anyway you can make a 3 channel work I have a near mint JL M500/3 I’d make you a killer deal on and I’m somewhat local in SJ. Shoot me a pm if interested 🍺
