30k i think is expensive for a used amp. Lafafa is currently using a kicker amp, ask him for his input regarding performance.

The nv series mono is nt avail now in karachi. Dnt knw about lhr. And i thnk u gonna run 2 mtx 8000. So better try getting the mtx 1500d. Whch is ideal for these subs. But its costly. Otherwise unbranded is the way to go. Like vtrek and soundmagus. Are good amps for the price.

[enerlevel]

what exactly are u planning to run on this amp?
a watt is a watt. just because its from kicker , it doesnt mean a 1200watt will start acting like a 3000watt.

therefore see what is ur rating of woofers and then plan to get the amp.
if ur woofers need higher power, then no use getting this amp, go for a lower quality brand. but if ur woofers are a perfect combo with 1200rms, then buy the amp. kicker makes good products.

[geforce]

no , 1200wrms for 30k hmm no
reminding : before you put some heavy setup like 1KWrms setup
concentrate on your alternator , battery , big 3 upgrade
any amp would fail , if you don't have sufficient power to run it

[painkiller_316]

to all ma mates !!!
this is jus a pic i uploaded from google images:)... i m paying 30k for a brand new amp if its worth it or not

@enerlevel........ i will run 1 mtx thunder 8000 t812s-44 (750 rms) on it but planning to get one more baby soon ... so i want an amp which is compatible for 2 mtx sub...

[smartboy_am]

bro get an amp which gives almost 1500rms at 1ohm

[painkiller_316]

@ smartboy_am
any suggestion apart from mtx th1500d.... sumthin solid !!!

[smartboy_am]

if u getting from us, then try brands like soundstream

[mani1]

@painkiller

Sir If I were you and if I had anyone coming from abroad, I would blindly get any of these (or better yet, both of these)

1)PA-1500 - Nakamichi 1 Ch 1200 Watt Power Amplifier
2)LRX 1.400 - Audison 1 Ch 900 Watt Amplifier

I don't think you can get better quality at even double the price. I don't know of any other better mono amps.

[enerlevel]

for 2 8000 square, the amp is more then enough. get the amp but make sure u get d4 version.

[painkiller_316]

@smartboy_am......soundstream is good but i m not tht fond off tht brand tbh i read sum reviews abt mtx th1500d n its awesome i prolly go with it.

@enerleve....i have one mtx 812s-44 at the moment so i defo go for 4ohm anyway but plz all ur pro guys help me building a nice system

brother we all want to help u.but we all have our own thoughts and past experiences. mostly wat happens is tht in the process of helping u , our idea collide and aik alag hi program start hojata hai...

therefore, try to contact the same "pro" who is in ur city. physical examination is much better then verbal or over the net convo.
good luck

Sir you should highly keep these suggestions in mind before making a purchase.

A SolidAudio F15D can do the job for you and save your money.

If you are importing from US, I suggest these:

ONX 1500.1

MB Quart Car Audio -- Onyx Amplifiers

DTR 1.1400

http://www.soundstream.com/AudioProducts/Amplifiers/dtower.htm

1500BD

Rockford Fosgate® - T1500-1bdCP

M2000

Alpine Electronics of America, Inc.

They will cost you 300, 350, 400, 450 CDN $ respectively (W/O shipping and taxes) and are easily available and much better then Kicker.

ZX1200.1 was the 2008 model, now discontinued and I have seen last week one slightly used one (2 months) retailing for 24K Rs at Saddar.
