Upgrade from MX5000

jejuanm · Post by **jejuanm** » Wed Apr 19, 2006 6:55 am

I have an Autotek MX5000, i was running it with 4 DVC L7's. I had them running @ 2 ohms, and the amp was giving me about 1200 watts a channel, atleast thats what its suppose to be doing. Im power hungry, and i have a friend in the Bahamas thats willing to pay what i paid for this amp new. What could I step up to, to replace this amp, or just possiably buy him something similar to it. They dont make this any more, and I have not really seen any other power amps like this. Educate me please!!!!!!

how much do you want to spend? autotek amps are great amps and they do rated power plus if you have the money look into the MM4000.1 i run 2 of them in competiton. or look at a pair of MM2000.1s great clean efficent power. i love autotek amps so much i have a banner thats 36 x 14 across my back window! and one of my good teamates has an MM4000.1 tattoed on his arm!

That's great, I bet he'll regret that in a few years :)

Can you imagine your grandchild asking you "Grandpa, what does MM4000.1 on your arm stand for?" "Well son, that was the model number of an amplifier I had back in Ot 6"

You could look into the Digital Design amps...not sure what the pricing of the MX5000 is, but I am sure it would be more than a grand..and I think that is where the DD's start. Might want to check them out

What do those 2 amps run money wise, and running 2 would certianly use alot more power from my electrical system.

z1 is great amp i would suggest that also and its built like a tank. it can run at .5 ohms and less. as for his tattoo i look at it this way. a tattoo represents a time in your life. the mm4000.1 just represents this point in time in his life. jeju im not saying you need 2 that would be way to much power for the normal person lol im not normal. how much do you want to spend?

I spent 800.00 for my MX5000, I call her "BIG BURTHA" she really ate my truck up, i blowed more lights in my truck than you do at XMAS time sorting out the lights for the tree. I love that amp, but I am a power feind. I will make go, or make it blow. "IF YOU CANT TURN IT UP, THAN BRUN IT UP"

if i were you i would just stick with that amp your not gonna get much of a better amp for that much and im the same way with power. retail on the MM4000.1 is 2500 but most shops like myself sell them for about 1800

I read in another post, that you may have another amp for a bout 900.00, is that still on the block, and if so, what type of TEK is it.
