There are many amplifiers on the market that have a nice price tag on them, and come up short in the power promised department. But, this list is the Top 5 powerhouse amplifiers that are affordable for the basshead on a budget.

Now some of these amplifiers have been mentioned, but they're so good its hard not to mention them again. For those who are wondering this list is no arranged order. With the stipulations of providing power of 1000-5000 watts, and a price range from $100.00 to $400.00. So, lets dive into this list with...

5. Sonido Mask ZX-1500.1

The Sonido Mask brand is slowly making its come up in the car audio world. And, not many people know about this affordable powerhouse of an amplifer. Most are afraid to give it a try. Now we've previously mentioned. and reviewed the ZX-1500.1 from Sonido Mask. You can view that article here. And, with all the information we stated in that review. You can see why this amplifier made this list. For the power output of this little amplifier that could. And, the price tag. There is no doubt about it. That if your budget is kind of tight, and you need some power. This is the amplifier for you. Now, the retail price of this amplifier varies. Some sites sell for $199.00, then others sell for a little higher. But, it won't break the budget like some amplifiers who promise this type of output, and come up short with a steep price tag.

4. Audiopipe APCL-1500.1

Another amplifier we've previously discussed in an article is the Audiopipe APCL-1500.1 amplifier. Which can be found here. This is possibly the best budget amplifier on the market carrying a nice price tag of around $150.00, and can be found cheaper through some sites. And, many budget builders have taken notice of the power contained in this unit. With it sleeper ability to provide more than rated power, and being strappable with another APCL-1500.1 to double its output to above 3000 watts. The Audiopipe APCL-1500 is an amplifier to definitely look into when it comes down to looking for raw power with a price that won't hurt the wallet.

3. Lanzar OPTI3201D

Now this is one amplifier that will make you wonder.

If your not familiar with the Lanzar brand. You may have heard through word of mouth that this is a sub par company when it comes down to their products. In some fashion that is very true. But, when you try the OPTI3201D you will see why the rest of the Lanzar's products is sub-par. It seems as if when Lanzar created the Optidrive line they put all of their resources into created a line that can compete with some of the best on the market. And, the Lanzar OPTI3201D is one of those amplifiers that shows the power of the series. Now, this amplifier does carry a little steeper price than some of the other amplifiers on our list. With a price tag of $379.00 But, it's well worth the price tag for the power this amplifier does deliver. As we say with some amplifiers with correct power the amplifier will deliver. Well this is one of those amplifiers. Plus this amplifier is rated to be a half ohm stable. And, who doesn't want a amplifier that is a half ohm stable. But, with correct power this amplifier will go a little above what you think. And, that makes this reason a nice addition to a basshead's system who is looking for an amplifier on a bang for the buck situation.

2. Hifonics BRX-2400.1

It would be wrong not to mention a budget company who mainly focus into created products for the budget consumer. So, with that being said the BRX2400.1 from Hifonics is disputably one of the best budget amplifiers known for their affordability, durability, and power. Hifonics amplifiers are hard to disappoint anyone who purchase them. And, the BRX2400.1 is the leader of the pack delivering what Hifonics' amplifiers are known for with a price that yet again steep compared to some of the other amplifiers on our list, but still in an affordable range at $250.00 which the price varies through distributors. But, when it comes down to price per watt. This amplifier is still a steal for anyone looking for an amplifier that can take some abuse.

1. NVX JAD1200.1

As we've previously stated this list is in no certain JAD1200.1 amplifier from NVX. When space is an issue, and you need real power. This just may be the amplifier for you. This amplifier is a power on tap type amplifier. With its rated wattage of 1200 watts at 1 ohm, but don't let the small max power rating fool you. This amplifier is a power house of true, and clean power. Its build quality is impeccable. Sporting all aluminum body, fitting up to 1/0 gauge power, and ground wiring. This amplifier screams premium quality with its simplistic stealth design, and small foot print. But, among the other amplifiers on our list this amplifier is the least strongest coming in with its 1200 watts, and yet somewhat most expensive coming in with a $259.00 price tag. But, with this amplifier there is no if, and, or buts that your getting the power that is on the spec sheet, and possibly more.
