I got a new sub and im looking for an amp powerfull enough to give the sub max power, its a jaycar response 250wrms subby. At the moment i have a shitbox boss 1000w Amp powering my 6x9's and sub(bridged) What would be a good amp to buy without spending much. Im on a limited budget :D

What price ranges can i expect.

Theres a top-of-the-line jaycar 350w rms (@ 4 ohm) monoblock amp (for subs) thats around $400 (less if you shop around). For a new amp, that comes with lots of options including a remote for bass control, thats pretty darn good. If you can get it for $300 or so i'd highly recommend it.

I do them for forum buddies for around $256. :(

Fhrx, i've got 1 little problem though..

At the moment i have 1 1000watt boss amp, and 1 500watt kenwood amp. The kenwood amp is only powering my crossovers (using 2 channels, i think) and the boss amp is powering my sub and 6x9's. What would you recommend i do?

a) Take the 500watt kenwood amp out, buy a 2channel Audison to power my sub, and use the boss to power 6x9's and fronts?

B) Throw the boss away and use the kenwood for 6x9's and fronts?

Would the gain in sound be worth the money i would spend to get another amp? I've also got to consider installation fee's because i have no idea on how to wire an amp :(

Say i did buy the Audison amp, would u be able to wire the stuff up for me? Let me know, because i will be doing something about my setup in the next few months..

Audison SRx2 Two Channel Amplifier

Ideal for factory sound systems, SRx 2 insures uncommon functionality and performances.

65w RMS x 2 (4 Ohms) - 85w RMS x 2 (2 Ohms) - 170w RMS x 1 (4 Ohms)

that would be around the same amount my boss amp is powering, have i got the right info?

If thats the case, there wouldnt be much of an increase? Someone correct me if im wrong.

Boss 1000watt and Kenwood 500 watt? Remember one thing you have to realise that those amps are only outputting a fraction of their quoted power. A serious 1000 watt amp will be nearly a meter long usually.

Disciple, are you open to suggestions regarding your system dude? If you don't mind me saying, this is what I'd suggest you do.

1. Put the $300 to one side.

2. Sell both your existing amplifiers.

3. Buy a single quality powerful amplifier (something like an Audison SRx3).

4. Run your fronts and sub with the above amp ( 75 RMS to each from and 250 RMS to the sub).

5. Run the rears off your deck.

There you go. Once you have thrown in some sound deadening to strenghen up the front stage sound and quality cable to interconnect the entire thing, you'll have a beautifuly crisp sounding clean system that can blow your head off every now and again. :(

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
