Which of these two amplifiers should I get?
Which of these two amplifiers should I get? Posted on: 29.02.2012 by Molly Moszer I'm planning on purchasing a single B-2 MX-1515 dual 15" 600 watt passive speaker for around $300 and I was trying to decide on an amp to buy that's under $200, preferable closer to $100 and these are the two that I found that I believe might be good but I'd like some input because I'm not sure if they'll be good enough for the speakers and if anyone has experience with either of these companies? I'd appreciate your input on which of the two below are better or if you have any other suggestions?Amazon.com: Pyramid ZPA150 1500 Watts Stereo Powered Amplifier: Car Electronics@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31ZZs6X9plL.@@AMEPARAM@@31ZZs6X9plL Amazon.com: Pyle Pro PTA1400 1400 Watt Professional Power Amplifier: Electronics@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31mjrkE5CeL.@@AMEPARAM@@31mjrkE5CeL Also if someone has some better suggestions for the same budget for speakers I'd love to hear them. Thanks so much! EDIT: I guess the more important question is if I'm purchasing a passive speaker that's rated at 600W with 4 Ohms what should I be looking for in an amplifier? What if I'm planning on getting 2 of those speakers? | |

| Sammie Okeeffe 29.02.2012 | Speaker wise i would stay away from any company which don't spec their rms output. These company will generally make speakers with a high peak output and a low constant output. Try company like JBL and Makie if you are looking for something of good quality for your room |
| Molly Moszer 29.02.2012 | Alright, thanks a ton dude! Do you know if paying $300 for a B-52 MX-1515 is reasonable or if I should be looking for something newer and if so are are there similar speakers for a similar price? Thanks so much. |
| Denisse Traffie 29.02.2012 | Neither, look for used Crown, QSC, Peavey or similar major brand. Those Pyramid and Pyle brands specs are way over inflated and their components are subpar. You will find yourself needing to push them too hard to get the output you want. Also, with the subpar components you risk an amp going out during a show, very bad, especially if you don't have a back up. |
