Exclamation I Need Help Finding An Amp! Asap

I have 3 Mtx 4500s in a sledgehammer box(u can see them on the mtx site) they are 4 ohm, bridged i think becasue there is only 1 output on the back of the box. I have a total mobile audio 400/2 amp hooked up to them right now and i want a bigger amp with a bass knob. Im lookin to spend $250 max and have at least 500 watts rms to them. they are 675 watts rms. i was lookin at JLs 500/1 or 250/1 but they are a little out of my price range. other than JL, i dont know much about amps so i NEED some help soon. Volfenhag ZX-8400 - Volfenhag 2 Ch. 2000 Watt Amplifier. i found this amp on ebay but idk if it is good or not. so if anyone has any experience with them, tell me how they are. i need to make a decision soon on an amp so please help!!!

you need to know what the total impedance (ohms) of the box is ..... it will make a big difference in what type of amp you want. Look on the box (or your receipt) and find the exact part #, then look on the site. I think each box is either a total 4 ohm or 2 ohm load.

that may be a difficult problem ... most of the high power sub amps make their power at low loads like 1 ohm. You may be able to find a 150 watt X 2 and bridge it ..... that should be around 600 watts with a 4 ohm load (if I did my math right)

I bought a Power Acoustik amp and it does I think 600 rms bridged at 4 ohm. But don't quote me on that.

You might look into Profile amps, good amps for a tight budget.

Oh and just set your gain right and leave the bass boost knob alone.
